Dr. Fodrey works with faculty, students, staff, and administrators. Writing at Moravian provides academic curriculum and student learning-outcome supporting services to the campus community. In her capacity as Director of Writing & First-Year Programming, Dr. Fodrey has weekly open hours available to meet with instructors to chat about any and all pedagogy topics, including, but not limited to, assignment design, rubric design, writing project scaffolding, equity-oriented response and assessment practices, digital portfolio development, and implementation of digital multimodal writing projects.
Dr. Fodrey is an Associate Professor in the Department of English and Writing Arts, an affiliate faculty of the Communications and Media Studies program, and has served as Director of the Writing at Moravian program since 2016. In March 2022 the Writing at Moravian program—which oversees First-Year Writing, the Writing Center, and the Writing Fellows program; engages undergraduate students in writing studies research; and supports faculty development and curricular revision related to the teaching of writing in both undergraduate and graduate programs—was awarded the Conference on College Composition and Communication Certificate of Excellence, one of the highest honors that a university writing program can receive.
Dr. Fodrey specializes in rhetoric and writing studies and teaches courses in rhetorical theory, digital rhetoric and writing, professional writing, editing and publishing, first-year writing, creative nonfiction, and writing studies. Her research is grounded in her dedication to well theorized and effective teaching and administrative practices as they relate to writing across the curriculum. Her scholarship on faculty development in the teaching of writing and writing curricular development appears in Across the Disciplines, Composition Forum, Writing-Enriched Curricula: Models of Faculty-Driven and Departmental Transformation and elsewhere. Dr. Fodrey has given talks on writing pedagogy, writing teacher and consultant training, and writing across the curriculum program development at the Conference on College Composition and Communication (here, often with undergraduate researchers), the International Writing Across the Curriculum Conference, the Council of Writing Program Administrators Conference, and the Small Liberal Arts College Writing Program Administrators Conference, among others. She is also an active member of each of the aforementioned professional organizations.
