Our Faculty and Staff

Juliette Kitchens teaches a range of composition courses, including courses in the undergraduate writing minor and the M.A. in Composition, Rhetoric, and Digital Media program. Her courses are designed to reflect her student-centered teaching philosophy and encourage writers to investigate their interests, communities, and (digital) environments. Dr. Kitchens’s research interests include identity studies, transmedia studies, rhetorics of technologies and media, and postprocess pedagogies. She has received numerous grants to support her research, including a 2015 College Composition and Communication Research Grant to investigate the construction of faculty identities. She has published four books and her scholarship is featured in edited collections and journals. Her first collection, At Home in the Whedonverse (McFarland, 2017), received the Whedon Studies Association book award and her monograph, Stories of Becoming (U Colorado, 2022), received honorable mention for the Research Impact Award by the Conference on College Composition and Communication.
