The talk is based on her book, "Toward a New Rhetoric of Difference," and current research she is conducting on the narratives that teachers tell about their teaching identities. Students and faculty will gain more awareness about how these identities affect themselves and others.
"Much of 1xbet online games login work is based on this seemingly simple, and yet endlessly complex truth: How teachers understand difference matters to the way they teach writing. More broadly, it matters to the way they teach," explains Abby Knoblauch, associate professor of English and composition and director of the program in expository writing.
"1xbet online games login talk will help teachers recognize how they and their students 'mark difference,' a process of responding to rhetorical cues that signal the presence of difference," concludes Knoblauch.
While visiting K-State, Kerschbaum alsowill lead a workshop for cross-campus tutors at the Writing Center's Spring Totally Tutoring workshop on the topic of "Signs of Disability When Tutoring."
"In this interactive workshop, Dr. Kerschbaum will give tutors the tools to recognize when disability might be silently at play in tutoring sessions so that tutors and tutees can productively work together in these sessions in ways that do not erase 1xbet online games login ," said Cydney Alexis, assistant professor of English and director of the Writing Center.
