We are feminists, writers, crafters, teachers, activists, rhetoricians, collaborators, anticapitalists, and friends. We are both PhD students in Writing, Rhetoric, and Literacy at the Ohio State University who aim to create spaces for joy and learning in our teaching, professional, and personal lives. While our scholarly interests often follow different topical threads, our common ideologies stitch our work together. Olivia's research investigates the feminization of labor in composition, and Hannah's applies critical new materialist frameworks to analyze adoptees' subjectivities, but we both believe in the necessity of working toward more sustainable and fulfilling professional praxis in our field.
