Amanda Laudig serves as a Lecturer in the Department of Writing and Rhetoric at Oakland University, where she has taught since 2011. Her pedagogy emphasizes active student collaboration over traditional lecturing, positioning her as a coach and catalyst in shared knowledge-creation spaces.
Education:
- Ph.D in English Studies, concentrations in Composition Pedagogy and Literature Pedagogy, Illinois State University
- M.A. in English Literature, Ball State University
- B.S. in English, Ball State University
Research Focus: Laudig's scholarly work centers on Composition Pedagogy and Critical Pedagogy, advocating for classrooms where students critically analyze rhetorical structures across discourse communities. She prioritizes developing students' ability to adapt writing for specific audiences while challenging foundational beliefs about knowledge production.
Teaching Practice: Courses include Basic Writing (WRT 1020), Composition I/II (WRT 1050/1060), and Business Writing (WRT 3082). Her methodology requires constant student activity—writing, discussion, and practice—to build rhetorical awareness without positioning herself as the sole authority.
Professional Role: Laudig's responsibilities focus exclusively on undergraduate instruction with no documented graduate advising, research grants, or laboratory affiliations. Her office is located in 166 Dodge Hall (contact: 248-370-2739).
