WELCOME
I’m Angela Laflen, an associate professor in the English department at California State University, Sacramento. My teaching and research concern writing, rhetoric, and technology. More specifically, I am drawn to questions concerning response practices, online pedagogies, and digital and multimodal literacies.

WHAT'S NEXT
Future Projects, Courses, and Presentations
During Spring 2023, I am serving as Teaching Associate Coordinator for the Writing Program and teaching the graduate-level course in professional writing.
In my research, I am working on a book that argues that data literacy should be incorporated into multimodal composition pedagogy via the practice of data storytelling. This project is based on my own work developing pedagogy to support students' data literacy in a variety of writing courses since 2016.
