DeJoy is the Director of Tier I Writing at Michigan State University. Her book, Process This: Undergraduate Writing in Composition Studies, was published by Utah State University Press in 2004. She has published articles about feminism in Composition Studies, integrating library instruction and information literacy pedagogies into first-year writing courses, faculty development, and first-year writing as a transitional space for students, teachers, the field, and higher education. Her recent work focuses on the teaching of writing in graduate education and on the ways that traditional configurations of first-year writing classrooms devalue writing as a social practice.
DeJoy has won teaching awards, has been elected to Who’s Who Among American Teachers three times, and has participated in a variety of community literacy and community grant-writing projects.
