KRISTIE S. FLECKENSTEIN, associate professor, joined the FSU faculty in Fall 2006. She has published more than 40 articles and book chapters on subjects that cluster around her research interests of materiality, visual literacy, feminist theory, and composition pedagogy. Recipient of the 2005 Conference on College Composition and Communication Outstanding Book of the Year Award for her monograph, Embodied Literacies: Imageword and a Poetics of Teaching, she is the author of the forthcoming Visualizing Change in which she explores the role of visual habits in social action. In her current project, she is investigating the connections between early photography and rhetoric in the United States during the nineteenth century. Finally, she co-edits (with Linda T.
