传记
卡内基梅隆大学, 蒂芙尼Kinney, 博士学位, teaches rhetoric and composition courses which include: Professional and Technical Writing, 英语作文, 科学写作, Composition Theory and Rhetorical History.
As part of her research trajectory, she engages in research that focuses on paying closer attention to marginalized rhetorics by examining local histories and how they challenge dominant structures and narratives. Another part of her research trajectory involves working with other stakeholders from across disciplines and institutions to conduct research on how best to teach writing in the sciences. 更具体地说, this research has taken the form of developing digital curriculum designed to help science writing students in learning to write for their discipline.
When she is not teaching or researching, she can be found hiking around the Colorado National Monument or the Grand Mesa with her partner and their two dogs, Willow和Indie.
教学理念
不管是什么课, Kinney designs the course material to teach students that discourse is not neutral in that it is inscribed with power relations that influence what is included, 由谁, for which purpose and in which form. By making students aware of these dynamics, she finds that they develop communicative patterns that are more rhetorically sophisticated and inclusive.
更具体地说, she wants her first-year students, to be trained as critical thinkers and capable writers, who have a developing facility with research methods. 作为他们训练的一部分, she helps them understand genre conventions for documents that are frequently required in an academic setting, 如:总结, a rhetorical analysis and a research paper. 在她的高级课程中, she teaches students to not only recognize genre conventions but to develop expertise modulating discursive content from one mode to another by applying rhetoric as a heuristic across the media spectrum: essays become speeches, speeches become poster presentations, poster presentations become podcasts, podcasts become digital exhibits.
