Profile Articles Activity

I study communication and learning in pedagogical and workplace interactions. Most recently, my research has focused on skilled trades, especially since I've been working as a welder/fabricator. I started at working part-time at Howe's Welding and Metal Fabrication in Ames, Iowa, in May 2022, after I got my diploma in welding. There, I do all sorts of welding, but my favorite is aluminum tig.

My book, Welding Technical Communication: Teaching and Learning Embodied Knowledge was published by SUNY Press in May 2022. After that, I wrote a book about my experiences learning in a fabrication shop. Learning Skilled Trades in the Workplace is available for free online (from Springer), and print copies are available too:
