Zosha 's bio: [|zstuckey@syr.edu] I am a doctoral candidate in Composition & Cultural Rhetoric at Syracuse University working in the areas of composition theory & practice, rhetorical pedagogy & history, community engagement, professional writing, new media studies, developmental writing, and disability studies. I was awarded the Chancellor's Award for Community & Public Engagement in 2009 for my work connecting disability communities with undergraduate students via oral histories and advocacy writing. Recent publications of mine include an article on re-negotiation of the "normal" in composition classrooms in //Open Words: Access and English Studies// (forthcoming), a case study in campus activism in the Journal of //Post-secondary Education and Disability//, and a discussion of rhetorical facility in the production of life writing in //a/b: Autobiography Studies.//

I am also the proud owner of the best dog in North America (voted by all her friends)--at some point in the semester you may be lucky enough to meet her. I am originally from Baltimore, Maryland but have also lived in San Francisco (i therefore do by default like John Waters films and Maryland crab cakes). I also have enjoyed traveling to Greece, Turkey, Guatemala, Mexico, Costa Rica, and India. My favorite TV show, currently**//,//** is **Mad Men**, but Dexter is a close second. The only other thing you must know is that my sister invented the famous Frapuccino.
