She/Her/Hers

Dr. Jackson is the Director of the Tupelo Writing Center and an Instructor. Her research focuses on scholarly productivity, writing groups, and the perceptions and impacts of “publish or perish.” She also is interested in autoethnography and other forms of qualitative research. Since 2018, she has taught first-year writing composition courses in the Department of Writing and Rhetoric and graduate higher education courses as a faculty affiliate for the Department of Higher Education. Dr. Jackson is a 2019-21 faculty fellow with the UM Sarah Isom Center for Women and Gender Studies fellowship program. In May 2019 she was chosen as a 2019-20 participant of the Op-Ed Project, a national initiative aimed at increasing the public impact of the nation’s top underrepresented thinkers, broadening gender equity, and shifting the dynamic of public discourse. Since 2017, she has been a contributing writer for Inside Higher Ed. Dr. Jackson also has presented research at the annual meetings of the Association of Rhetoric and Writing Studies, the American Educational Research Association, the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication, and at the UM Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning. Dr. Jackson always enjoys coaxing productive writing from her students and other faculty. She loves watching street food videos and bingeing on international crime and mystery dramas.
