| Professor Kates is the
author of Activist Rhetorics and American Higher Education:
1885-1937 (Southern Illinois University Press, 2001). She has
published articles on rhetoricians Hallie Quinn Brown and Mary Augusta
Jordan in College English and College Composition and
Communication. Her poems have appeared in The Cumberland Review,
The Laurel Review, The Ohio Journal, WestBranch,
and Texas Poetry Review. Professor Kates teaches rhetorical
theory and creative writing at the undergraduate level and rhetorical
theory/composition theory at the graduate level. She is particularly
interested in technology and its relationship to the study of rhetoric.
She believes language philosophy is a powerful vehicle for exploring
how discourse functions in a wide variety of rhetorical situations;
consequently, she is committed to helping her students analyze their
own writing and the writing of others through the work of an extensive
range of rhetorical theorists. |
