Biography
Heather is an English instructor with over 20 years of experience working in higher
education and a community college graduate. Her teaching philosophy relies on collaborative
exchanges as a means of learning discourse, and is informed by her experiences as
an instructor, a former writing center tutor, and her alignment with social-constructionist
and transformative principles. She incorporates this philosophy into teaching practices
by introducing new concepts in familiar ways and then acting as a facilitator for
students. Heather's pedagogical and research interests include collaborative learning,
digital rhetoric and literacies, peer review, and contingency faculty issues.
