Bio
Dr. Rebecca Powell is a teacher, writer, and writing studies scholar. Much of her academic writing centers on the dissonances between students' articulated experiences and teacher, disciplinary, and institutional expectations. She sees place as the fodder for resilience, resistance, and change. She co-directs the Live Oak Writing Project and works with current and pre-service English educators in classrooms and communities along the Gulf Coast.
