Profile 
Anne Ellen Geller joined the faculty at St. John's University in 2007, having previously taught at Clark University for eight years.  She teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in non-fiction, rhetoric and composition and writing studies.

As Director of Writing Across the Curriculum in the Institute for Writing Studies, she works with faculty from all disciplines to support the teaching of writing at all levels of instruction in all departments.  Her current research interests include co-authoring, the application of principles of dialogue in English studies and writing across the curriculum, and questions of how writing is integrated across the disciplines and how dialogue around writing can influence departmental, institutional, and disciplinary beliefs about student and faculty scholarship.

She is co-author of The Everyday Writing Center: A Community of Practice (Utah State University Press, 2007) and "DEAR COAUTHORS: Epistolary Revelations of Five Writing Center Directors" in Junctures: The Journal for Thematic Dialogue, Issue 10 (June, 2008), with Michele Eodice, Frankie Condon, Meg Carroll and Beth Boquet.  She is also co-author of "Workshopping to Practice Scientific Terms," for Teaching with Student Texts, with Frank Cantelmo (biology).

Her 2005 article "Tick, Tock, Next: Finding Epochal Time in the Writing Center," an inquiry into how theoretical and cultural conceptions and constructions of time affect teaching and learning at individual, classroom, program and institutional levels, appeared in The Writing Center Journal (25.1) and won International Writing Centers Association Outstanding Scholarship Award.
