Elaine Richardson, Assistant Professor of English and Applied Linguistics at Penn State
"Freestylin', or Lookin' for a Style That's Free: Futures for Composition and Cultural Rhetoric"
Friday, April 30 @ 7 p.m.
Elaine Richardson's ongoing research focuses on African American language, culture and literacy, rhetoric & composition, and discourse analysis. Her first book, African American Literacies, concerns teaching writing and literacy to African American college students (and by extension younger students) from African-American perspectives. She is working on a second book-length project, Hip Hop Literacies, that explores counter cultural practices of the Hip Hop generation as an extension of traditional Black folk cultures.
