Renee Simms, Associate Professor of African American StudiesPronouns: she/her/hers My training is in creative writing and law, and I teach courses in fiction writing, The Harlem Renaissance, Survey of African American Literature, Black Fictions and Feminisms, and Environmental Racism. My research interests include community writing pedagogy and black feminist interventions in literary canon formation, environmental justice, and law. I enjoy helping students think through choices they鈥檝e made in a draft as well as the expectations of a written genre. I believe all great writing happens during revision. Hours |

Ariela Tubert, Professor of PhilosophyPronouns: she/her/hers My training is in philosophy. My research focuses on how we make decisions, including the range of values, psychological motives, and social and environmental influences on our actions. I teach courses in moral philosophy, philosophy of law, existentialism, environmental ethics, data ethics, philosophy of artificial intelligence, and Latin American and Latinx philosophy. I believe that writing helps us think more clearly and it is through the writing process that we figure out what we want to say. I enjoy working with students through revisions as they figure out what they want to say and how to convey it in a clear and compelling manner. Hours |
