About the Panelists:

Karin Lindstrom Bremer, Ph.D., is an assistant professor and the research generalist in the Department of Counseling and Student Personnel at Minnesota State University, Mankato. She is in her fourth year of teaching and goes up for tenure and promotion in Fall 2011. She decided while a graduate student that too many faculty she knew were paralyzed when it came to writing, so she made it her mission to not be one of those people, to instead be a comfortable or at least a productive writer. She intentionally uses resources, both human and books/articles, to help her grow in her relationship with writing. She is mindful of the courage it takes to write and sometimes has to convince herself to be courageous while at the keyboard. Coming from a multi-disciplinary background, she has written about social aspects of medicine and nursing, as well as sport psychology and youth sport topics.

Jane Karwoski is an experimental psychologist teaching online for a variety of universities and college. She combines cognitive, social, and health psychology in her emphasis on the psychosocial aspects of genetics and genomics. As personal genomics and newborn screening expand, more and more people are learning that they carry genetic material that could affect or has affected the next generation. Jane’s focus on the impact of that knowledge is reflected in her blog and Twitter persona, MyBlueGenome?. In addition to the psychosocial impact of carrier status, her academic writing projects include healthcare improvement through implementation of best practices and the interplay between propositional and tacit knowledge.

Carroll Ferguson Nardone is an Associate Professor and Director of the Writing in the Disciplines initiative at Sam Houston State University (SHSU), in Huntsville, TX. She holds a Ph.D. in Rhetoric and Professional Communication from New Mexico State University and has published articles on workplace writing, visual rhetoric, and writing assessment across disciplinary boundaries. Her most recent article— the culmination of a year-long teaching and research project—appears in the January 2011 issue of College Teaching, and was co-authored with Renée Gravois Lee, an associate professor in the College of Business at SHSU. Ferguson Nardone has also co-authored Technical Communication as Problem Solving, an e-textbook (with Molly Johnson and Teena Carnegie, both of Eastern Washington University), available this summer from Kendall-Hunt Publishers.

Barbara Torre Veltri, Ph.D., Assistant Professor in the College of Education at Northern Arizona University (USA) is the author of the award-winning book, Learning on Other People’s Kids: Becoming a Teach For America Teacher, (Information Age Publishers, 2010), which is noted as one of the Top Three Books on Education Reform by Dr. Diane Ravitch in The Washington Post. She holds permanent teacher certification (N-12, New York and Connecticut), and earned her doctorate in Curriculum and Instruction from Arizona State University. Her research interests include alternative pathways to teaching, and policies that impact teachers and children living in poverty across the U.S and globe. She is the author of “Teaching or Service: The Site-Based Realities of Teach For America Teachers in Poor Urban Schools,” (journal article published in Education and Urban Society, July 2008), and an upcoming international journal article entitled: “A Tale of Two Countries: Teach For America and Teach for India, Globalized Educational Reform “For the Public Good?”
