Matt Burkett serves as a Lecturer in the Department of Writing and Rhetoric at Oakland University, teaching foundational writing courses including WRT 1000 (Supervised Study), WRT 1020 (Basic Writing), WRT 1050 (Composition I), and WRT 1060 (Composition II) since 2008.
His educational background includes:
- M.A. in American Literature from Indiana State University (2008)
- B.A. in English Studies from Wayne State University (2002)
Burkett cultivates inclusive classrooms where students explore writing through personally meaningful topics connected to hobbies, interests, and career paths. He integrates diverse media—podcasts, stand-up comedy, film/TV clips, video games, YouTube content, and NPR segments covering sports, outdoor activities, fashion, music, politics, medicine, and education—to demonstrate writing as dynamic communication beyond grammatical exercises.
His pedagogical focus centers on Composition, Rhetoric, Multimodal Composition, Writing Pedagogy, and First-Year Writing, emphasizing technology-enhanced assignments alongside traditional writing tasks.
