About Me:

My name is Chandler Mordecai and I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of English at Middle Tennessee State University, where I study and teach digital rhetoric, technical writing, multimodal composition, and digital literacy. My research and teaching interests lie at the intersections of technofeminism, digital rhetoric, and Healing Justice, focusing on articulating connections among multimodal compositions and rhetorical writing strategies on digital platforms.

My current research is an intersectional feminist analysis of content creators on TikTok who share content related to healing. I explore how healing practices and experiences are communicated, shared, and even complicated through the sociotechnical features and affordances of TikTok. 

My professional trajectory has been shaped by experiences as a survivor of domestic violence, a rural Alabamian, and raised by a single parent. My personal experiences and advocacy have shaped my commitment to creating welcoming environments for all people, and especially my students.
