Lisa E. Wright is a Lecturer in the University Writing Program. Her research interests and courses center on Black maternal health, with a particular focus on Black midwives.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n
Wright is working on a manuscript \u201cThe Ring of Fire: A Memoir\u201d which chronicles her home births with her midhusband. It further examines Black women\u2019s birthing choices, with a particular focus on the delegitimation of Black midwives, and on creating safe birthing spaces inside, and outside medical institutions. She was the recipient of the 2022 Women\u2019s Faculty Council Student Research Award at Oklahoma State University, the 2022 Geneva Smitherman Award for Research in Black Language, Literacies, Cultures, and Rhetorics, and the 2024 Mu Psi Student Chapter Faculty and Staff Leadership Award at Johns Hopkins University.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n
Prior to joining Hopkins, Wright co-founded the Talking Justice Project<\/a>, an interactive workshop that teaches antiracist strategies for writing center consultants and teachers. Using antiracist pedagogy and inclusive writing center pedagogy, they provided attendees with strategies to address problematic ideas while also maintaining a learning environment. Her current project intersects faith and religious identities in our writing spaces. The co-edited collection The Politics of Faith and Secularism in Writing Centers and Writing Studies<\/i> is under review at Utah State University Press.<\/p>\r\n Wright was born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland. She holds a B.A. in English from Coppin State University and an M.A. from The Ohio State University in African and African American studies. Wright completed her doctoral work at Oklahoma State University in English, specializing in Creative Writing Nonfiction and Black feminist literature. Her work has appeared in or is forthcoming in Meridians: feminism, race, transnationalism, <\/i>College English, The Writing Center Journal, Praxis, Axis, <\/i>and Hippocampus Magazine.<\/i><\/p>"],"ecpt_teaching":[" Edited Books<\/p>\r\n Edited Journal Issue<\/p>\r\n Peer-Reviewed Articles in Journals<\/p>\r\n Essays in Books<\/p>\r\n Book Reviews<\/p>\r\n\r\n
