Bio

In his research and teaching, Matthew Hennginsen, Ph.D. focuses on critical literacies, primarily within science-based rhetorics. These include investigating dystopian rhetorics, and how science writing intersects with ethics. New teaching modalities geared towards writing pedagogy also inform my approach to the classroom and his research.
