About Researcher Amy Case

Talinn Phillips, PhD is Professor of English Rhetoric and Composition at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio. She is former director of its Graduate Writing and Research Center and currently prepares new graduate students as Director of Composition. She is a former Co-Chair of the CGC and a co-editor of Supporting Graduate Student Writers: Research, Curriculum, and Program Design. She is also co-creator of Supporting the Growth of Graduate Writers: A Film, which is available open-access from University of Michigan Press.

In addition to her work in graduate writing support, she is also Co-Chair, with Ryan J. Dippre, of the Writing Through the Lifespan research collaborative. Lifespan Writing Research is a developing research agenda in Writing Studies that aims to move beyond siloed understandings of writing change (e.g., K-12 writing development, first-year writing, workplace writing) and siloed methodological or disciplinary approaches so that we can understand longer trajectories of how writing intersects with people’s lives.
