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
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.
Dr. Geller’s research considers what supports and what hinders
writers as they write, tutors as they tutor, and teachers as they
develop, encourage, and assess writing opportunities in their
classrooms. Her newest project considers the relationship of
dialogue – especially difficult dialogue across difference -- to
the teaching of writing and writing across the curriculum work.
She is co-author of The Everyday Writing Center: A Community of
Practice with Michele Eodice, Frankie Condon, Meg Carroll and Beth
Boquet (USU Press, 2007). Her 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 the 2005 IWCA Outstanding Scholarship Award.
