Research Statement

Renee Buesking’s work focuses on broadly on questions of addressing audience. In her dissertation and published work, Renee looks at the ways in which British women writers in the eighteenth and nineteenth century hybridize traditional forms to address new audiences, adapt their public personas, and respond to cultural and historical events during these periods. In the classroom, Renee focuses on the intersections between first-year writing and technical communication to help students identify, properly address, and persuade new audiences on and off campus. Renee’s recent work with the Serve-Learn-Sustain office at Georgia Tech gave students the opportunity to address their communication to community partners in Jackson, GA.
