Jody R.

Teaching courses in composition and literature, she values the role of open technology and writing in all courses, and integrates open digital pedagogy and writing-intensive and communication-intensive approaches into her teaching. Her scholarship focuses on open pedagogy, especially communication-intensive and community-focused, as well as narrative theory, Modernisms, and gender and sexuality studies. Her work has been published in the Virginia Woolf Miscellany, Forces of Nature: Natural(-izing) Gender and Gender(-ing) Nature in the Discourses of Western Culture, Journal of Interactive Technology and Pedagogy, Learning Community Research and Practice, Hybrid Pedagogy, Scholarship and Practice of Undergraduate Research, and Pedagogy: Critical Approaches to Teaching Literature, Language, Composition, and Culture. She is currently collaborating on a manuscript on feminist detective fiction, as well as a working on a book project on 1920s women’s fiction, in which she considers the function of repetition as a subversive narrative mode in marriage-plot revisions emerging from the post-World War I era, focusing on novels by H.D., Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Nella Larsen, Edith Wharton, and Virginia Woolf.
