about

Picture

Dr. Hannah J. Rule is Associate Professor of English in Composition and Rhetoric at the University of South Carolina. 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. Focused on topics including writing process theory and pedagogies, freewriting, multimodality, rhetorical grammar, and expressivism, Rule's scholarship has appeared in venues including CCC, Composition Forum, Composition Studies, and several edited collections. 

Her recent book, Situating Writing Processes (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 (under contract with Utah State University Press).
