Terri Trupiano Barry has been teaching first year college composition since 1987. She has co-authored several articles on writing groups and peer response. Currently she is working on two book proposals: The first is for the republication of a novel by Ann S. Stephens, a prominent and prolific 19th-century American author. The second is for the publication of her dissertation, Rhetorics of Representation: Race, Gender, and Intermarriage in the Frontier Fiction of Ann S. Stephens, which analyzes Stephens' uses of race and gender using the dramatistic rhetorical approach devised by Kenneth Burke.
Recently she worked with a FIPSE (Funds for the Improvement of Post-Secondary Edication) grant project to improve graduate student writing in the Sciences here at Michigan State, which piqued her interest in the rhetoric of scientific writing.
