CAHSS Faculty Awarded Conference on College Composition & Communication Research Initiative Grant
Janine Morris, Ph.D.,
Janine Morris, Ph.D., assistant professor in the Department of Writing and Communication in NSU’s College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences (CAHSS), received the Conference on College Composition & Communication (CCCC) Research Initiative Grant. Faculty members from University of Texas Rio Grande Valley and Old Dominion University also received the grant to study how students’ backgrounds affect their expectations of their online writing classes.
Morris is collecting data through surveys and focus groups with NSU students taking online writing courses. She and her collaborators will be collecting data throughout 2018. They intend to present their findings at the Conference on College Composition and Communication and hope to publish their findings in a book providing recommendations for those teaching composition classes online.
Morris’ research interests include reading and critical literacy studies; digital composing and multimodal writing; graduate student writing and mentorship; and online writing instruction. She has presented at national and regional conferences and her work has been published in Pedagogy, College English Association (CEA) Critic, Computers and Composition, Composition Studies, and Community Literacy Journal.
