Heather Connors

Heather is an English instructor with over 20 years of experience working in higher education and a community college graduate. Her teaching philosophy relies on collaborative exchanges as a means of learning discourse, and is informed by her experiences as an instructor, a former writing center tutor, and her alignment with social-constructionist and transformative principles. She incorporates this philosophy into teaching practices by introducing new concepts in familiar ways and then acting as a facilitator for students. Heather's pedagogical and research interests include collaborative learning, digital rhetoric and literacies, peer review, and contingency faculty issues.

Heather teaches multiple courses in the English Department and is currently one of the coordinators for Academic Foundations English. She also serves as the faculty advisor for Sigma Kappa Delta, the English Honor Society.
