Assistant Professor
Janine Solberg is an Assistant Professor of English. She joined
the UMass faculty in the Fall of 2007 and teaches in the Department's
Professional Writing and
Technical Communications Program and Graduate
Program in Composition and Rhetoric.
She holds a Ph.D. in English with a specialization in writing studies from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Her research interests span the field of rhetoric and composition, though she is particularly interested in technical communication, digital media, gender, and histories of technology and literate activity. She is currently working on a book-length project that analyzes the intersections of gender, technology, and literacy in early twentieth century American career advice texts for women.
At the University of Illinois, she directed the Programs in Professional
Writing and helped develop and run communication workshops for
the Mid-America Earthquake Center. She has taught courses
in business and technical writing, web design, and an advanced
composition course called Writing
with Video.
