This is because much of what we study is about pedagogy and practice: how writing is taught and learned in courses, programs, and extracurricular sites.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>In\nmy case, the four major strands of my scholarship and teaching all stem from\nabiding interest in multilingual literacies and the ways in which students with\nhome or heritage languages and dialects other than \u201cstandard\u201d English are\nwelcomed or not welcomed (intentionally or unintentionally) into the academy\nand in college-level writing classrooms. This focus, combined with my early and\nenthusiastic adoption of digital composing tools and my affinity for\ninternational collaboration, has guided my sustained inquiry and scholarly projects\nrelated to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Multilingual literacies and the evolving conversation around\ntranslingual literacies in both theory and pedagogical practice;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Knowledge-making in international, online writing classrooms, in\nparticular for student writers identified by institutions as \u201cat-risk\u201d in some\nway;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Affordances of digital technologies for writers in general and for\nmultilingual writers in particular;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ethnographic research methods in college-level writing classrooms.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>My scholarship in all of these areas has evolved over time from conference papers and presentations into published work. The most recent significant accomplishments are  two co-edited collections about \u201ctranslingual\u201d dipositions and pedagogies. <a href=\"https:\/\/wac.colostate.edu\/books\/international\/translingual\/\"><em>Translingual Dispositions: Globalized Approaches to the Teaching of Writing<\/em><\/a>, published by the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/wac.colostate.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\">WAC Clearinghouse\/University Press of Colorado<\/a> in 2020, focuses on international, classroom-based research on translingual writing pedagogies (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sbmalley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Translingual-Dispositions-Introduction-Frost_Kiernan_BlumMalley.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">read the introduction here<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/upcolorado.com\/utah-state-university-press\/item\/4026-translingual-pedagogical-perspectives\"><em>Translingual Pedagogical Perspectives<\/em>: <em>Engaging Domestic and International Students in the Composition Classroom<\/em><\/a>, published by <a href=\"https:\/\/upcolorado.com\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/upcolorado.com\/\">Utah State University Press<\/a> in 2021, explores effective pedagogies for multilingual writers in US-based, college writing classrooms (read the introduction here). Both volumes seek to fill a gap in current and evolving conversations in writing studies and applied linguistics around language use as social and situational practice. Chapter authors include established voices in the field as well as newer scholars (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sbmalley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Translingual-Pedagogical-Perspectives-Introduction_BlumMalley__Kiernan_Frost.pdf\">read the introduction here<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My chapter \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sbmalley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/6_Malley_Ludic-is-New-Phatic_Thinking-Locally-Composing-Globally.pdf\">Ludic is the New Phatic: Making Connections in Global, Internet-mediated Learning Environments<\/a>\u201d in <a href=\"https:\/\/upcolorado.com\/utah-state-university-press\/item\/3296-thinking-globally-composing-locally\"><em>Thinking Locally, Composing Globall<\/em>y<\/a>, edited by Rich Rice and Kirk St. Amant, presents an analysis of student discussion board activity for Sharing Cultures, a large-scale, online, international collaboration that connected students at Columbia College Chicago with students in Port Elizabeth and Stellenbosch, South Africa, and, in later years, Volgograd, Russia in a shared discussion board space every northern-hemisphere spring semester from 2003-2011. In addition to the book chapter, my presentations on this research have led to invitations to give two plenary talks, one at the Midwest Conference on Literature, Language, and Media at Northern Illinois University in 2014 and one at the International Changing Communication in a Changing World Linguistics and Intercultural Communication Conference hosted at the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration in Volgograd, Russia in 2015. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My teaching and scholarship have intersected in other important and meaningful ways. While teaching Writing and Rhetoric I, I designed literacy narrative assignments using the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thedaln.org\/#\/home\">Digital Archive of Literacy Narratives (DALN)<\/a> as a platform for students to analyze and submit print and multimodal literacy narratives to the archive. As a result of that work, my assignment sequence is now shared on the <a href=\"https:\/\/thedaln.wordpress.com\/teaching-resources\/\">DALN Teaching Resources<\/a> site and several of my student\u2019s multimodal literacy narratives are <a href=\"https:\/\/thedaln.wordpress.com\/daln-resources\/\">featured as multilingual student samples (Sky Wang, Viral Patel, Sofia Gomez, Keunho Shin).<\/a> My work with the DALN and my research on my students composing processes deepened my interest in the interconnections between multilingual and multimodal writing and resulted in publication of \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/ccdigitalpress.org\/book\/stories\/frost.html\">Multilingual Literacy Landscapes<\/a>\u201d co-authored with Alanna Frost and published in <a href=\"https:\/\/ccdigitalpress.org\/book\/stories\/\"><em>Stories that Speak to Us<\/em><\/a>, edited by Scott Lloyd Dewitt, Cindy Selfe, &amp; H. Lewis Ulman. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, early\nin my career and as Director of the English as an Additional Language (EAL)\nprogram, I was committed to creating a sequence of writing courses and learning\nexperiences for international students that could effectively bridge typical\n\u201cESL\u201d writing instruction outcomes and the very different expectations of the\ncollege writing classroom. I had success with several assignments using\nethnographic research methods and was encouraged by my students\u2019 enhanced\nunderstanding of research processes, their engagement with what they were\nwriting, and the quality of their writing. I partnered with Ames Hawkins to\nco-author <a href=\"http:\/\/www.engagingcommunities.org\/\"><em>Engaging Communities: Writing Ethnographic Research<\/em><\/a>, an\nopen-access textbook for college-level writing classrooms. To date, the web version of the text\nhas had well over 43,000 unique users in 181 countries. In addition, it has\nbeen downloaded as an ePub (for free) over 1200 times. In addition to classroom\nuse, the text has been cited in five scholarly articles focusing on writing\npedagogy. Over the years we have received tens of emails from instructors\ntelling us how wonderful and helpful the text is and how grateful they are that\nwe\u2019ve made the text fully accessible to them and their students.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a scholar in rhetoric and composition with a focus on multilingual and digital literacies, my scholarship, my teaching, and my service are deeply interwoven.
