Background

About Allison Hitt

I'm an Associate Professor at Ball State University. I teach classes in the English department, both in the undergraduate professional writing program and the rhetoric and composition graduate programs. I teach several professional writing classes, ranging from Technical Writing to Document Design & Visual Rhetoric to Writing in Digital Environments. I teach graduate classes about embodied rhetoric, composition pedagogy, and building an academic career. My research focuses on making writing and rhetoric more accessible. My publications address accessible writing pedagogy, multimodal composition, Universal Design for Learning (UDL), disability justice, and technical and professional communication. My book, Rhetorics of Overcoming: Rewriting Narratives of Disability and Accessibility in Writing Studies, was published by NCTE as part of the Studies in Writing and Rhetoric (SWR) series in 2021.Please visit allisonhitt.com if you're interested in viewing my CV or learning about what I value as an instructor, scholar, and advocate!
