Certificate in Teaching College English

As Assistant Professor of English in Professional Writing Dr. Sánchez studies issues connected to placemaking. This ranges from looking at how maps are rhetorically constructed to examining the technologies that geographers and urban designers use. He is also interested in issues of diversity and difference. Fernando has taught courses in freshman composition, professional writing research, visual rhetoric, grant writing, healthcare communication, and business and technical writing.

As a researcher, teacher, and editor, Dr. Easley is interested in everything Victorian. She has published two award-winning essay collections, The Routledge Handbook to Nineteenth-Century Periodicals and Newspapers (2016) and Researching the Nineteenth-Century Periodical Press: Case Studies (2017), both co-edited with Andrew King and John Morton. She has also published two monographs, Literary Celebrity, Gender, and Victorian Authorship, 1850–1914 (U Delaware P, 2011) and First-Person Anonymous: Women Writers and Victorian Print Media, 1830-70 (Ashgate-Routledge, 2004) and is currently working on an edited collection, Women, Periodicals and Print Culture in Britain, 1830s–1900s, with Beth Rodgers and Clare Gill (Edinburgh UP, 2019).

Dr. Chowdhury's interests lie in the ways culture, politics, ethics, and aesthetics intersect, so in all his classes students analyze texts as part of complex social formations and in specific historical contexts. Kanishka has taught courses in cultural studies, immigrant literatures, global film, transnational literatures, and writing and resistance. He's also written on many of these topics, as well as on contemporary postcolonial cultures and their connections to emerging forms of citizenship and neoliberal economic changes. His latest book, Human Rights Discourse in the Post-9/11 Age examines some of the contradictions that emerge in contemporary rights language when material relations are not sufficiently perceived or acknowledged, while directing attention to the role of some rights talk in maintaining and managing the accelerated global project of capital accumulation.
