Service

Service to the college, the university, and the field is an integral part of my academic career. The majority of my efforts in this domain have been in two related domains: the Writing Across the Curriculum program at York, where I have overseen the Writing Intensive course offerings and guided a cohort of WAC Fellows in efforts to reinforce the culture of writing in various disciplines at York, and the College Curriculum Committee, where I have represented the English department for four years. These roles have given me a special perspective on, and appreciation for, the operation of the York College curriculum as an integrated system with far-reaching effects on faculty responsibilities and student outcomes. I look forward to being part of future efforts in these domains to maximize curricular responsiveness to student interests and to continue supporting faculty members as they navigate writing pedagogy across diverse disciplines with varied norms and requirements.
