Her research focuses on ethics and pedagogy and includes work on visual ethics. Her article with Carol David, “Towards an Emancipatory Pedagogy in Service Courses and User Departments” was part of a collection that won a National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) Award for Excellence in Technical and Scientific Communication: Best Collection of Essays in Technical or Scientific Communication.

She is active in the Association for Business Communication (ABC), where she currently serves on both the Business Practices and the Teaching Practices Committees. She also served on ABC’s Ad Hoc Committee on Professional Ethics, which developed a Professional Ethics Statement for the national organization. In 2002, she received the association’s Outstanding Teacher Award.
