KRISTIE S. FLECKENSTEIN, associate professor, joined the FSU faculty in Fall 2006. Her recent book, Embodied Literacies: Imageword and a Poetics of Teaching, was the recipient of the 2005 Conference on College Composition and Communication Outstanding Book of the Year Award. She has published more than 40 articles and book chapters on subjects that cluster around her research interests of visuality and rhetoric, feminist theory, and composition pedagogy. Her current work explores the connections between early photography and writing pedagogy in the 19th century. She also co-edits with Linda Calendrillo JAEPL: Journal of the Assembly for Expanded Perspectives on Learning, which has been selected by NCTE as a featured affiliate journal for the past nine years. When she received her doctorate from Illinois State University, her research was supported by an Ora Bretall Dissertation Fellowship. Her dissertation, a study of the interrelationships between personal writing and literary response, was a finalist for NCTE's Promising Research Award.
