 Diana BellAssociate Professor and Director of the Academic Resource CenterOffice: Madison Hall, Room 236 Phone: (256) 824-3142 E-mail: belldc@uah.edu PhD, Illinois State University MA, Northwestern State University BA, Marshall University Dr. Diana Bell, Associate Professor of English and Director of the UAH Academic Resource Center, is a specialist in rhetoric and composition. She has an undergraduate degree in journalism from Marshall University in Huntington, West Virginia, where she was the hurdler for the “Thundering Herd” women’s track team. Her MA in literature is from Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, Louisiana, where she spent a considerable amount of time learning to spell words like Natchitoches (Nack a tush) and Thibadeaux (Tib a doe). She also learned the secrets of cooking a mean Cajun jambalaya. She then used those spicy culinary talents to stay warm upon moving to the freezing mid-west, earning a Ph.D. from Illinois State University in composition studies. Her research focuses on issues of writing pedagogy and writing center administration. Her book, Toward Deprivatized Pedagogy, is published by Hampton Press. She has also published articles in The Writing Center Journal, Computers and Composition, Readerly/Writerly Texts, Radical Pedagogy and the Writing Lab Newsletter. In her “spare” time, she reads trashy novels, attends way too many sporting events, and (shhh) nurses her addiction to home makeover shows. |
