Lilly Campbell // English // Marquette University

Associate Professor, Director of Foundations Instruction

English

My research interests include rhetorics of health and medicine, feminist rhetoric, and professional and technical writing. My current book project, Rhetorical Body Work in the Health Professions: Embodying Technology, Communicating Care, examines how newcomers learn to embody disciplinary modes of communication and ways of knowing in the fields of Nursing, Physical Therapy, and tele-observation. As Director of the Foundations in Rhetoric (FiR) course at Marquette, I’m also always thinking, writing, and talking about how students learn to write at the university and what role FiR can play in bringing them into the academic world of Marquette.

As a writing teacher, I aim for my courses to act as venues for students to practice being critical readers and writers in their future disciplines, professions, and lives. Many of my courses include fieldwork—much like my own research—to help students not just acquire different modes of writing, but also better understand how communication practices can exclude and oppress others and how they might be changed.
