Dr. Kirsti Cole<\/a> is the Co-Director of the Campus Writing and Speaking Program and Professor of English at North Carolina State University. Dr. Cole received her BA from the University of Montana (2001, English) and her Ph.D. from Arizona State University (2008, Rhetoric, Composition, and Literature). She studied at the University of London during her Bachelor\u2019s program, and at St. Catherine\u2019s College, Cambridge University during her Ph.D. coursework. She was Professor of English at Minnesota State University from 2008-2022, and she served as adjunct faculty at Chandler-Gilbert Community College in Composition, adjunct faculty at Mesa Community College in Gender and Women\u2019s Studies, and a Teaching Associate and Instructor at Arizona State University, Tempe and Polytechnic campuses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Cole’s teaching interests include online writing instruction, faculty development and instruction in composition pedagogy, research methods, and graduate writing workshops. One of the driving components of her scholarly activity is collaboration, in an effort to identify and examine barriers disciplinarily, and in terms of identity, rhetoric, and online and digital spaces. In collaboration with her co-authors and editors, she has published multiple innovative and creative works in the field. Her area of focus tends to be, simply put, how people use language to create meaning. She has published 6 edited collections, as well as numerous articles and chapters including Women\u2019s Studies in Communication<\/em>, Technical Communication Quarterly<\/em>, Journal of Communication Inquiry<\/em>, Feminist Media Studies, <\/em>and College English<\/em>. Dr. Cole examines this kind of language use in three distinct areas: digital technology and writing studies, feminism and gender studies, and labor in higher education.<\/p>\n\n\n
