My current research focuses on designing and assessing community-engaged courses that emphasize students' critical thinking and problem-solving abilities. I am interested in writing program administration and curricular design centered on community-based praxis and public writing. I am also interested in the institutionalization of community-based research/pedagogy as well as the intersections of food studies, eco-pedagogy, and writing studies.
