Heather works at the intersections of Writing Studies, Applied Linguistics, Writing Program administration and Feminist Theory. With Melissa Dinsman, she also researches the works of Violet Hunt, an under-studied writer of the interwar period. Her recent works include a discussion of resisting white supremacy and colonialism in the composition classroom via taking a post-colonial approach to the teaching of writing, and explorations of feminist approaches to program administration and academic labor.
