Current Research:

Dissertation: Re-Envisioning Theory and Applications of Rogerianism in Composition Studies:
In this dissertation, I claim that pedagogy informed by Rogerian theory increases active learning and student motivation, helps to facilitate reflection and critical-thinking, and assists instructors in overcoming challenges associated with grading service-learning projects, online portfolios, web projects, and other non-traditional assignments. Furthermore, according to some students in my composition class, it encourages students to write for “more than just a grade” and to learn “just to learn.” I have found that Rogerian pedagogy is particularly useful when linked with service-learning pedagogy. Rogerian theory helps to illustrate why service-learning, rather than having civic and moral value only, significantly increases the effectiveness of student learning.
