About
Dr. Hannah J. Rule is a Composition and Rhetoric specialist in the the Department of English Language and Literature at the University of South Carolina where she teaches graduate and undergraduate courses in first-year writing, writing and embodiment, survey of composition studies, and the teaching of writing.

Rule's research focuses on composition studies and pedagogies. Her scholarship takes up topics including writing process theory and pedagogies, freewriting, multimodality, rhetorical grammar, and expressivism and appears in venues including CCC, Composition Forum, Composition Studies, and several edited collections. Her forthcoming book, Situating Writing Processes (Univ Press of Colorado/WAC Clearinghouse, 2019), asks how conceptualizing writing processes as emplaced physical activity in time reshapes contemporary writing instruction to  nurture context-sensitivity, situational differences, on-the-spot learning, and writing as relational and improvisational. 

 With Cydney Alexis, Rule is also developing an edited collection, titled The Material Culture of Writing, that focuses on the intersection of writing studies and material culture studies.
