MilwaukeeWI53201United States of America(414) 288-0688gitte.frandsen@marquette.eduAs a teacher-scholar I focus on writing pedagogies and programs that sustain the multiliteracies, language practices, and diverse knowledges of minoritized undergraduate and graduate students. My recent research focused on the rhetorical, linguistic, and knowledge-making practices of transnational students in American college classrooms.
I have taught at the college level since 2007, teaching courses in first-year composition, freshman literature, rhetoric & culture, English Language, English for Academic Purposes, and Intensive English for International Students. A core belief of mine is that all students bring to the classroom their own valuable knowledge, languages, and ways of understanding the world which are shaped by their lived experience and membership in various communities. My goal is to validate the practices students bring and help them build on their existing resources in a trusting and caring classroom environment.
