Franziska Tsufim

Dr. Franziska Tsufim is an Assistant Teaching Professor in the Writing Program at Wake Forest University, joining in 2024. Previously, she served as a Marion L. Brittain Postdoctoral Fellow in the Writing and Communication Program at the Georgia Institute of Technology. She holds a PhD in English from the University of California, Irvine.

Her teaching focuses on multimodal composition, integrating digital technologies such as podcasts, Twine video games, and blogs to foster rhetorical flexibility and student agency. Her research agenda centers on first-year writing pedagogy, generative AI policies in writing instruction, and histories of student-developed academic honor codes. Recent work has been published in The Journal for Research and Practice in College Teaching and The Journal of Multimodal Rhetorics.

Her approach emphasizes collaborative concept-building with students, prioritizing their independent 'sense-making' processes. While no specific grants or labs are mentioned, her work bridges traditional academic writing instruction with contemporary digital practices.
