Biography

Zakery was born and raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Before joining Lehigh as an
Assistant Professor of English, he completed his PhD in Composition and Cultural
Rhetoric at Syracuse University. His active research considers graduate students and
how they learn to write in graduate school, particularly through the lenes of rhetorical
genre theory, enculturation, and disciplinarity. His work in this area can be found in
College, Composition, and Communication; Rhetoric Review; and in the edited
collection Beyond Productivity: Embodied, Situated, and (Un)balanced Faculty Writing
Processes from Utah State University Press. He won the Kairos Teaching Award for
Graduate students in 2025. And he is the producer and editor of the WAC
Clearinghouse Emerging Voices interview series.
