_Florence Elizabeth Bacabac
I earned my Ph.D. in Rhetoric and Writing from Bowling Green State University in Ohio. My dissertation reflects my interest in composition pedagogy and the use of various collaborative invention tools in computer-mediated classrooms. My research interests include computers and writing, writing for interactive media, digital rhetoric, professional/business and technical writing, writing across the curriculum, writing in the disciplines, civic engagement and service learning, second language writing, and women's rhetoric. I have done workshops and paper-presentations in professional conferences, such as the NCTE, CCCC, ABC, Computers and Writing, Watson, L2 Writing Symposium, Ohio TESOL, Utah Campus Compact, and Feminism(s) and Rhetoric(s).
I have been teaching professional and technical writing courses in English at Dixie State University (DSU) since 2008. I also serve as the first director of DSU Women's Resource Center where access to resources, mentoring and support are given to women across the disciplines for their academic and professional development.
I am a recipient of Utah Campus Compact's 2018, 2014, and 2011 Community Engaged Scholar Awards. These awards recognize an individual who teaches with experience in using service-learning as a successful pedagogy; innovation in employing reflective strategies to connect students' service with academics; and evidence of academic civic engagement through teaching, community-based research, and promotion of service-learning in one's discipline. I will continue to help various non-profit organizations in the city of St. George and Washington County as a grant writing specialist.
