Charles McMartin,  Assistant Professor, PhD, University of Arizona; MA, KU Leuven; MAT, University of Northern Colorado. Dr. McMartin's research explores the leadership of past and present student activists who have reshaped educational institutions to reflect the cultural and linguistic assets of their communities. His current book project argues that coalitional leadership provides an important pedagogical frame for teaching the rhetoric of student activism as a collaborative problem-solving process focused on enabling collective action within students' local communities. Dr. McMartin also researches the leadership practices of early-career faculty and staff. His forthcoming coedited collection, Next-Gen Perspectives on Leadership: Coalitional Strategies for Launching Careers, Renewing Curricula, and Defending Democracy (Utah State University Press), highlights how emerging scholars in writing studies are using coalitional leadership to meet the generational challenges reshaping higher education.
