Dr. Terry Quezada

I am Assistant Professor of Practice in the Rhetoric and Writing Studies Program within the English Department at UTEP and I direct the Technical and Professional Writing (TPW) Certificate program. I teach at both the graduate and undergraduate levels and have implemented Open Education Resources/Open Access Resources (OER/OA) in the TPW program to provide day-one access to students in the online program as well as help them manage costs by including all materials into the certificate courses.

My research interests include the scholarship of teaching and learning, political rhetoric and technical communication. My experience as an executive within local government heavily informs my pedagogical practices and infuse my classes with career-preparedness activities for my students.

I earned my Ph.D. Degree in Rhetoric and Writing Studies from the University of Texas at El Paso. My work has appeared in edited collections including Teaching Information Literacy and Writing Studies: Volume 2: Upper-Level and Graduate Courses (2019) and Rewired: Research-writing partnerships within the Frameworks (2016).
