The QEP is excited to feature Dr. James Romesburg (University of Wisconsin-Platteville) as a guest speaker this April. Dr. Romesburg will discuss ways to understand and engage working class literacies in the writing-intensive classroom. 

Bio: “James has been teaching first-year composition, professional writing, and literature at the university level for over a decade, receiving his Ph.D. from the University of Louisville’s Rhetoric and Composition Program in August, 2011. He completed his master’s and bachelor’s degrees in English at Clemson University in Clemson, South Carolina. James’s research interests focus mainly on the role formal literacy education plays in working-class lives—particularly the literacy practices first-generation and nontraditional students bring to their college writing classrooms and how literacies that deviate from the academic/rational rhetorical paradigm are received in higher education.” 

The preview event will be a chance for current and future writing-intensive instructors to come together to discuss QEP-related goals for the next academic year. The QEP Team will facilitate and share resources.
