Episode 101 of The Big Rhetorical Podcast features an interview with Dr. David Grant. Dr. David Grant is an associate professor at the University of Northern Iowa. For the first phase of his career, he served as Writing Program Administrator managing his department's composition courses, offering professional development for instructors, and being a voice for writing on campus. That was phased out in 2015, so he retooled his research agenda to combine his concern with Native American/ First Nation literacies and ecological sustainability. That led to his article in CCC, "Writing Wakan: The Lakota Pipe as Rhetorical Object,” his collaborative work in Rhetoric Review, and a forthcoming collection co-edited with Jennifer Clary-Lemon titled Decolonial Conversations in Posthuman and New Materialist Rhetorics (forthcoming Fall 2022, Ohio State UP).
