Renee Buesking

Renee Buesking serves as a Teaching Assistant Professor in Lehigh University's Department of English, specializing in first-year writing instruction with emphasis on technical communication and audience engagement. Her role bridges academic writing pedagogy and real-world community applications through partnerships like Georgia Tech's Serve-Learn-Sustain initiative.

Educational background:

• PhD in English, The University of Georgia
• MA in English, Lehigh University
• BA in English, Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania

Her research interrogates how 18th-19th century British women writers hybridized literary forms to address evolving audiences, with intersecting expertise in gender studies, digital humanities, and rhetoric. Current projects explore audience adaptation strategies in historical contexts and their implications for modern technical communication pedagogy.

Recent publications in European Romantic Review demonstrate consistent focus on Romantic-era textual interventions, particularly women's protest literature and Ossianic reception. This body of work establishes her authority in recovering marginalized voices through formal innovation analysis.

Award recognition:

• Marion L. Brittain Postdoctoral Fellowship (Georgia Institute of Technology)

Teaching practice emphasizes undergraduate mentorship through community-engaged projects, notably connecting Lehigh students with Jackson, GA partners to develop audience-specific communication solutions. Her curriculum integrates technical writing fundamentals with social justice frameworks across WRT001 sections.

Active involvement in undergraduate research opportunities and digital humanities initiatives reflects commitment to expanding scholarly access through public-facing academic work.
