Biography / Academic Interests
:
Mary Reda began her career in English studies specializing in Victorian novels. She soon shifted her studies to Composition and Rhetoric; this allowed her to focus not only on the analysis of texts but on the production of texts as well. Thus even in the literature courses she teaches at the College of Staten Island, great emphasis is placed on writing and writing processes. Her academic interests are diverse, ranging from those more central to her official field of study, including the phenomenon of silence, autobiography, and research methods in composition studies, to more obscure areas such as detective fiction.
Scholarship / Publications
:
Professor Reda presents papers frequently on her varied research interests, including such topics as the use of popular culture texts in the composition classroom, speaking and silence in the classroom, the uses of narrative research methodology, and issues or reflective practice. Her book, "Between Speaking and Silence: A Study of Quiet Students in the Composition Classroom", was published by SUNY Press. Her recent publications include columns on classroom discourse in TCPress and The Chronicles of Higher Education. She is currently co-editing a collection of teaching narratives exploring issues of identity among instructors of composition and rhetoric.
