Clare Russell
Wayne State University
Assistant Director of Composition
Detroit, MI
I'm interested in strategies for promoting inclusivity and diversity in academic spaces. I study how to teach people how to write, and I am also dedicated to constant pedagogical innovation. I want to help empower as many of my students as possible so that they can navigate/break down/reassemble the various gatekeepers present in academic spaces.
As a recent transplant from Albuquerque, New Mexico, I wish to respect and contribute to my new community here in Detroit. I want to share the creative things Detroiters are doing with my Wayne State students. If you would like to share your experiences with literacy building and/or community writing, please talk to me! I would love to invite you to my classroom to workshop with my students.
