Lisa Tremain

Department Chair & Co-Director First-year Composition Program

My research investigates the ecologies of writing knowledge development and transfer, including how writing and literacy are taught and learned in and beyond the classroom and post-secondary institution. My most recent interests have turned toward mulitmodality and transfer, linguistic justice, and writing in, across, and beyond the academic disciplines. I am currently co-editing a collection (forthcoming from Peter Lang Publishing) with Dr. Libbi Miller (Humboldt Professor of Education) where authors theorize, describe and/or analyze writing transfer through lenses of radical epistemological justice. In the classroom, I am interested in working in community to support collaborative and individual writing that enacts transformation of dominant textual structures, including scholarly genres.
