Sarah Spring (B.A. University of Central Arkansas, 2002; M.A. Texas A&M University, 2004). Her interests include computer technology, rhetorical theory, cultural communities, and visual media. Her current work in these areas focuses on the development of student identity within the "alien space" of the computer composition classroom. How do students orient themselves within the unfamiliar? What can be learned from their use and understanding of the metaphors community, place, and space? Or, more basically, how can their ease with emails and websites be translated into the more academic writing contexts?

She teaches ENGL 104 (Rhetoric and Composition), emphasizing student participation with visual rhetorics, community discourse, and literary analysis. Sarah is also an acquisitions editor for the Texas A&M University Press, and a new assistant editor for the Praxis section of the online journal Kairos.
