Audrey is the Graduate Assistant Director of Undergraduate Writing and Tutoring and a McDougal Graduate Teaching Fellow with the Poorvu Center’s Teaching Development and Initiatives team. She designs and leads training programs for new Teaching Fellows of Yale’s ‘Writing Requirement’ courses, holds consultations and teaching observations for graduate and postdoctoral instructors, and helps organize university-wide teaching events on urgent themes like Linguistic Justice and equitable approaches to AI in the classroom. As a CTL Fellow, she facilitates workshops on topics from Antiracist Pedagogy to Disability in the Classroom. Across the different scales and formats of these programs, Audrey is particularly invested in centering collaboration in/and/as innovation in our teaching spaces, especially as we try to foreground our students’ needs and voices in the shifting landscape of higher education in an AI era.   Beyond the Poorvu Center, Audrey’s research explores the way that the perspectives we take in the stories we tell about our world can help shape that world in turn, focusing in particular on cognitive narrative theory and the Irish Literary Revival. In her own teaching, which includes composition courses on topics from metafiction to mind reading, she strives to center the process and practice of learning and writing, exploring how we learn and how we can express our knowledge, rather than only what we know, as pathways of bringing creativity and metacognition into the classroom. Outside of work, she can be found exploring Connecticut’s hiking trails and bakeries with friends in search of great views, good snacks, and excellent company.
