Using Rhetorical Media to Meet Outcomes

and Satisfy Stakeholders

 


About the Author

Cheri Lemieux Spiegel completed her MA in English at Virginia Tech in 2006.  After graduating from Virginia Tech, she moved to Northern Virginia where she began teaching at Northern Virginia Community College (NOVA), first as an adjunct and a year later as a full-time faculty member.

She teaches primarily First-Year Composition and Advanced Composition.  In addition to her time in the classroom, she serves the college as the Program Head for English Adjuncts.  In this position, she facilitates the hiring, mentoring and evaluation of the large English adjunct population on her campus. 

Her research interests focus on multimodal composition, visual rhetoric, universal design and usability.  She is interested in examining questions about how “texts” (broadly defined) can be designed or redesigned to effectively engage audience members, particularly student audiences with dominant learning style preferences or special needs.  In addition to exploring issues of design, she is also interested in examining the rhetorical exigencies motivating the creation of street art.  She is continuing to exploring these interests as a PhD student in the Old Dominion University’s English Department.
