Shireen Campbell Professor of English | Writing Center Director | Director of the College Writing Program

I teach a variety of literature courses, with special interest in genre fictions, fanfiction, young adult fiction, and contemporary women writers, as well as writing courses, including creative nonfiction, memoir, professional writing, and writing with the community. I direct the college Writing Center and have research interests in writing center theory and practice, second language writing, digital writing, and information fluency.

Currently, I am collaborating with my colleague Rebeca Fernandez on a longitudinal project examining the rhetorical and linguistic development of advanced multilingual writers.  Recent conference presentations have focused on shifts in syntactic complexity (AAAL 2019) and potential correlations between complexity and cultural relevance of paper topics (SLWS 2018).
