Dr. McMartin's research explores the leadership of past and present student activists who reshaped educational institutions to reflect the cultural and linguist assets of their communities. His in-progress manuscript argues that coalitional leadership provides an important pedagogical frame for teaching the rhetoric of past and present student activism as a collaborative problem-solving process concerned with enabling collective action within students' local community. His research on leadership also includes the Next-Gen faculty and staff leadership.

Dr. McMartin's forthcoming coedited collection, Next-Gen Perspectives on Leadership: Coalitional Strategies for Launching Careers, Renewing Curricula, and Defending Democracy (USU Press), argues for studying and teaching coalitional forms of leadership early-career faculty in writing studies are using to address the challenges facing their generation.
