Kitty Geoghan

Kitty Geoghan joins the University of Michigan community fresh from a Master of Arts in Rhetoric and Composition at the University of Central Florida. As a master's student, Kitty presented research with the Popular Culture Association/American Culture Association, the South Atlantic Modern Language Association, and the National Conference for Peer Tutoring in Writing, as well as the UCF Knights Write showcase. She also worked as a graduate writing consultant in the University Writing Center and taught each of two courses in UCF's first year composition sequence.

Kitty's areas of interest include teaching at the undergraduate level, particularly in first year writing, as well as the broader student experience outside the classroom. Their work with students is informed by theoretical frameworks drawn from disability studies, queer theory, crip theory, and neuroqueerness. These frameworks further inform a broad range of research inquiries across the fields of writing, rhetoric, and literacy studies.
