Biography
Johnson's dissertation research explored the application of cultural competencies and other antiracist composition pedagogies in college writing classes, and the data gathered and course designs implemented from this research formed the basis of a major curricular shift toward integrating cultural competencies education in the First-Year Writing Program at OU.
Working in the Writing Program at Stetson, he will help enhance and reconfigure the developmental writing course at Stetson, offer strategies toward incorporating antiracist pedagogies and assessment practices among Stetson faculty, support the university Writing Center as the Assistant Director, and teach classes in developmental writing, his specialization on racial discourse, and other topics in Writing Studies. He is also the content creator and host of Stetson's own "Tipping Our Hats" podcast exploring identity in the academy.
His co-authored work has appeared in journals like Composition Studies, and he has a forthcoming coauthored manuscript under conditional acceptance and revision for the Journal of Teaching Writing.
