Dr. Chaterdon's research examines mindfulness applications in composition instruction, focusing on metacognitive skill development that enables students to transfer writing knowledge across contexts. Her work intersects Rhetoric and Composition, Contemplative Pedagogy, and Cognitive Science, with particular attention to embodiment rhetorics and feminist pedagogical frameworks. She investigates how contemplative practices affect learning outcomes, student fulfillment, and cognitive abilities in writing classrooms.
