Dr. Catherine Fox is a 2005 recipient of the Miller Teaching and Service Award. Dr. Fox is a professor in the English Department at St. Cloud State. Her research is focused on ways to articulate changes in academia in order to find a home for marginalized individuals, and the politics of representation focusing on white working class lesbians in the context if classroom academia. Dr. Fox connects her research and nd pedagogy by inviting students to challenge academic norms and to think about who gets to represent who in academia, what counts as the truth and who is believed using alternative writing such as “zines” and freestyle writing. She also works with students so they are able to claim their education and not just receive it. Dr. Fox has used her award to travel to a conference in Chicago on College Composition and Communication where she presented her work with the First Year Experience Program Community entitled “From Surviving to Thriving”. This session was extremely well received. In addition she traveled to the Feminist Rhetorics Conference held this year in Michigan. There, graduate students from her Feminist Rhetoric graduate class presented. Dr. Fox presented a paper entitled, "Exploring the Literacy of Academic Workplaces and the Rhetoric(s) of Class: Working Class Professors Performing Entitlement" which was co-authored with Dr. Tracy Ore of the Sociology Department. Dr. Fox is very honored and pleased that “St. Cloud State University values people who do things well and differently”. Congratulations Dr. Fox and best of luck in your future endeavors!
