Kathryn Warrender-Hill

Kathryn Warrender-Hill received her BA from the University of Vermont in English and Psychology and her M.A. and Ph.D. in English, focusing on Rhetoric and Composition specifically, from the University of Connecticut.

Her dissertation investigates the relationship between composing tools (such as computers and notebooks) and the writing process across different types of assignments (traditional essays and multimodal texts). Her research often draws on theories of distributed cognition, activity theory, and the writing process and foregrounds the importance of qualitative research in composition studies. Her other areas of interest include multimodal composition pedagogies, writing center pedagogies, active-learning and Universal Design for Learning theories, and creative & creative non-fiction writing.

At Norwich University, Professor Warrender-Hill Directs the Center for Writing and teaches various writing-focused courses such as WRIT 110 & 111 (Writing and Inquiry in Public & Academic Contexts) and WRIT 204 (Technical and Professional Writing).
