As a composition researcher, I am dedicated to making general education writing courses interesting, relevant, and useful to students in all academic disciplines. I love all types of writing and have published in education, computer science, literature, and composition journals. I also write fiction and poetry and have experience with a large range of business and professional genres. What matters most to me as a writing teacher is helping students understand the conventions of the genres they will need for their professional and academic lives and seeing students clearly articulate and support arguments written for a variety of audiences.

I love to write and to teach writing. My writing has ranged from journalism, to fiction, to academic books and articles, to creative nonfiction. I have taught a wide variety of writing courses, in the U.S. and abroad, to students from their first year of college to students working on their graduate degrees. What matters to me most as a writing teacher is helping students understand more thoughtfully their own ways of writing and how those connect with the writing situations in which they find themselves. I want them to be able to figure out how best to succeed at new and unfamiliar writing situations whether in a college classroom or outside in their daily lives. My specific research and teaching interests are in literacy, popular culture, identity, and creative nonfiction. My website can be found at http://louisville.edu/~btwill02/

I’m a 4th year Ph.D. student originally from West Virginia and have wanted to be involved in the teaching of college English for as long as I can remember. I received my B.A. in English from Marshall University in 2003 and my M.A. from UofL in 2005. I’ve taught various courses in composition, women’s literature, women’s studies, and in the writing center. Now that I’m nearing the end of my career as a student, I’m focusing on my dissertation which explores the literacy practices of an Amish community in southeast Ohio. I’m also interested in teaching with technology, teacher training, research methods, feminist theory, and women’s literature.  When I'm not being a scholar and a teacher, I enjoy journaling, playing guitar and flute, and listening to rock-n-roll.  The best way to contact me is through my e-mail address, tabetha.adkins@louisville.edu.
