Rebecca Fremo

I'm commonly called "The Writing Person" here at Gustavus. Before becoming Chair of the English department, I directed our Writing Center for 11 years; I also have served as our Writing Across the Curriculum director.   I teach a range of courses, including Writing Creative Nonfiction, Academic Writing, First Term Seminar, and Adolescent Literature and Literacy.  I am particularly interested in the relationship between writing and identity, and I'm currently working on a project that involves teaching pilot sections of First Term Seminar (FTS) designed specifically for multilingual students.  I studied Rhetoric and Composition in graduate school, and my real passion is teaching writing--all kinds of writing--to all sorts of students. I also write poetry and creative nonfiction.  My first chapbook of poems, Chasing Northern Lights, was published by Finishing Line Press in 2012.  In my other life, I'm the mother of three boys who keep me very, very busy.
