Episode 7: Dr. Martha Brenckle - Professor and Author

Transcript Episode 7 In this episode, we interrogate writing with Dr. Martha Brenckle, a full professor and the Interim First-Year Writing Program Director at UCF. With the creation of her new class “Queer Rhetorics and Queer Writing,” we break down what it means to disrupt the status quo and question long held rhetorical beliefs. Beyond that, we consider the often overlooked digital rhetorics, the role that professors are meant to play in writing disciplines, and the arduous creative process. Join us in becoming academic theorists as we question everything and queer our writing.
