Jody R. Rosen’s Profile

Modernism, Narratology, Gender and Sexuality Studies, Open Digital Pedagogy, Experimental Writing, Writing Across the Curriculum
Jody R. Rosen, an associate professor in the English Department at New York City College of Technology, holds an AB from Brown University and a PhD and Women’s Studies Certificate from the CUNY Graduate Center. She currently serves as Co-Director of the OpenLab, and previously as a Writing Across the Curriculum coordinator. Through both of these positions, she has had the opportunity to strengthen community at City Tech through technology and writing. 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 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, and Hybrid Pedagogy. She is currently working on a manuscript on open digital pedagogy and undergraduate research as well as 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.
