Neo Hybrid Pedagogy in Post Colonialism Composition

Dr. Monique Akassi's Neo Hybrid Pedagogy in Post Colonialism Composition is the first quantitative research study in the composition and rhetoric discourse that addresses concerns regarding exclusively African American students'struggle to adapt to writing portfolios and many current composition pedagogies. Moreover, in the 21st century many minority students are ostracized by conflicting teaching styles, Western Culture's influence on the academic discourse between the student versus the teacher, and problematic teaching methodologies for African American students. In addition, notions concerning writing portfolios are (re)examined in order to provide some solutions for marginalized students who struggle producing quality work.

Monique Leslie Akassi earned a PhD in English Composition and Rhetoric from Morgan State University in Baltimore, Maryland, May 2011. She is also an English Lecturer at Morgan State University. Her interests include composition pedagogy, rhetorical criticism, literary criticism theory, and issues in American education.
