Londie T. Martin, Ph.D.

I am an associate professor in the Department of Rhetoric and Writing at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock where I teach courses on digital nonfiction, web design, document design, and multimodal composition. I am also affiliated faculty in our Gender Studies program where I regularly teach our introductory gender studies course. As a feminist rhetorician and composer of multimodal work, my interdisciplinary teaching and scholarship bridge multimodality, digital literacies, and game studies; critical youth studies; action research methodologies; and feminist rhetorical theories and pedagogies. My commitment to interdisciplinary knowledge creation also extends to my editorial board service for Feminist Formations, a leading academic journal in women’s, gender, and sexuality studies. My work has been published in edited collections, Rhetoric Review, and Kairos: A Journal of Rhetoric, Technology, and Pedagogy where my co-authored webtext, “Performing Urgency,” won the journal’s 2016 Best Webtext Award.
