Jody Rust

Hello! I am in my first year at U of M and will focus my PhD research on pedagogy and theories in Writing and Rhetoric informed by Indigenous ways of thinking and believing. I want my research to respect rhetorical soveriegnty. I am not a member of any tribe, but my teaching experience and education is heavily influenced by the Dine Nation and the Oceti Sakowin of South Dakota, particularly from the Cheyenne River Sioux Reservation and the Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate of the Lake Traverse Reservation.
