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.

Future Projects, Courses, and Presentations
During Fall 2022, I am serving as Teaching Associate Coordinator for the Writing Program, teaching professional writing, and overseeing writing program interns.
In my research, I am studying how instructors choose among response programs and technologies to provide efeedback on student writing, and I am working on a project examining how a rhetorical approach to data informed by multimodal composition pedagogy can foster students’ data literacy skills.
