Madeline Crozier (she/her) is a PhD Candidate in English (Rhetoric, Writing, & Linguistics) with concentrations in writing center and writing program administration, composition theory and pedagogy, writing assessment, and writing pedagogy education. She has worked for two years as an administrator, three years as an FYC instructor, and seven years as a peer writing consultant. Her dissertation, “Graduate Instructors at Work: A Narrative Inquiry into the Development of Writing Assessment Literacy,” uncovers how graduate teaching associates (GTAs) develop writing assessment literacy. Madeline sustains a broader research trajectory that explores the needs of writing instructors and the impacts of assessment at classroom, departmental, and institutional levels. In total, her research has culminated in 16 conference presentations, 14 invited talks in the English Department, 10 academic publications, and more than $20,000 in travel, research, and award funding since 2018. Madeline received a 2024 CCCC Chairs’ Memorial Scholarship for her exploratory research study on how GTAs use conventional and labor-based writing assessment practices in FYC courses and a 2023 TESOL Professional Development Scholarship for her research on cross-cultural FYC course design. Her teaching, which spans mainstream, ESL, and cross-cultural FYC courses across face-to-face, hybrid, and asynchronous modalities, was honored with the inaugural David A. Hambright Teaching Award for Graduate Students (2022). Madeline also serves as Assistant Editor for Copyediting of the Journal of Writing Assessment and Graduate Student Representative for the Southeastern Writing Center Association. She lives in Knoxville with her husband and two dogs.
