About Me:

Alison A. Lukowski is an Associate Professor at University of Wisconsin Stout’s Department of English, Philosophy, & Communication Studies, where I serve as the Director of First Year Composition. Additionally, I teach courses in basic writing and first-year composition. My recent research has focused on the intersection of gender and digital media; in particular, the ways in which mothers use social media to create, distribute, and seek knowledges about their own bodies. I am currently working on a project that analyzes the ways women athletes use maternal rhetoric.

Hailing for the northern shores of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, I received a B.A. in English and Political Science from Alma College. I went on to receive a M.A. in English from Loyola University Chicago. I completed my Ph.D. in English – Rhetoric and Composition at Northern Illinois University, where I also completed a graduate certificate in Women, Gender, and Sexuality.

Research Interests: women & rhetoric and first-year composition
