Lindquist received her Ph.D. in English (Language, Literacy, and Rhetoric) from the University of Illinois-Chicago in 1995, and came to MSU from the University of Southern Mississippi in 2002.
Lindquist currently teaches first-year writing courses, undergraduate courses in rhetoric, language, and literacy, and graduate courses in Composition Theory and Pedagogy; she also mentors graduate students learning to teach writing. Her research works at the intersection of rhetoric, anthropological linguistics, and cultural studies. She is particularly interested in the discursive production of working-class identity and culture, the subject of her book A Place to Stand: Politics and Persuasion in a Working Class Bar (Oxford University Press, 2002).
Lindquist's work on language, class, and culture extends to problems of adult literacy education, and she has published essays and articles in scholarly journals including College Composition and Communication, College English, and Pedagogy, as well as chapters in edited collections. She is currently working (with David Seitz) on The Elements of Literacy, a introduction to concepts and research in literacy studies.
