About Me

Melanie KillI have been teaching at the University of Washington for the past five years. At the end of the 2005-2006 academic year, I completed a two-year appointment as an Assistant Director of the Expository Writing Program (EWP) with responsibilities including curriculum development for 100-level composition courses and the training and ongoing mentoring of new instructors in English. I am now looking forward to beginning a new post this fall teaching at the University of Washington's Bothell campus as a fellow of the Project for Interdisciplinary Pedagogy.

In addition to teaching (and a few other things :), I am a doctoral candidate in English currently writing my dissertation, Challenging Communication: Linguistic Diversity and the Politics of Variation.
