(Ph.D., University of Illinois at Chicago). Kelly Ritter is the Director of the First-Year Composition Program at UNCG. Her research interests are in Composition Studies and Writing Program Administration, with special interests in history of composition as a discipline, basic writing studies, theory and practice of writing programs, and creative writing pedagogical theory and practice in graduate programs/graduate teacher training. Her scholarly work includes the forthcoming book _Before Shaughnessy: Basic Writing at Yale and Harvard, 1920-1960_ (Spring 2009, SIU Press/CCCC Studies in Writing and Rhetoric), and the edited collection _Can it Really Be Taught? Resisting Lore in Creative Writing Pedagogy_ (Boynton/Cook, 2007), as well as essays in articles in _College English_, _College Composition and Communication_, Rhetoric Review_, _Pedagogy_, _Composition Studies_, and _WPA: Writing Program Administration_. Dr. Ritter is currently at work on a book manuscript which examines how extra-curricular online discourse communities shape undergraduate writing and reading practices outside of the classroom.
