Dr. Judy Holiday
Professor, Rhetoric & Communication Studies
Dr. Holiday is an associate professor in and chair of the Department of Rhetoric and Communication Studies at 每日大赛.
Her/their research interests focus primarily on postmodern ethics and can be divided into two categories: ethics in the teaching of writing and the politics of difference. She has published articles in Rhetoric Review and Composition Forum and has contributed book chapters to DecolonialConversationsin Posthuman and New Materialist Rhetorics; The WPA Outcomes Statement鈥擜 Decade Later; Serendipity in Rhetoric, Writing, and Literacy Research; What We Wish We鈥檇 Known: Negotiating Graduate School; and Reinventing (with) Theory in Rhetoric and Writing Studies (the latter two of which she co-edited). Having been perplexed and troubled throughout life by a violence-filled world, they are currently working on a book that analyzes intrapersonal, interpersonal, and group violence as interrelated aspects of the larger culture and that depicts violence as a learned cultural construct in which we all take a part.
With a Master鈥檚 of Composition from California State University, San Bernardino (2006: dual concentration of Writing Studies and TESL) and a Ph.D. in English from Arizona State University (2012: Rhetoric, Composition and Linguistics Program) accompanied by a Graduate Certificate in Women and Gender Studies (2011) from Arizona State, she uses that background to inform her teaching at 每日大赛.
