Much of Dr. Haimes-Korn’s scholarship in the field focuses on classroom inquiry and draws upon student voices to understand writing theory and practices. She writes on portfolios, response theory, collaborative learning, visual literacies and multicultural pedagogies. She is interested in the multiple layers of language and experiences students bring to their writing lives.  Dr. Haimes-Korn is the author of numerous articles in the field of composition.  Her book, Portfolios for Technical and Professional Communicators (Prentice Hall, 2007), co-authored with Herb Smith, reflects her work with students in their TCOM degree programs along with her interest in composition theory and practice.  Her most recent book project, an edited collection, Teaching Seeing and Writing 4 addresses the ways visual literacies and new media are incorporated in the writing classroom through innovative classroom practices.

As the teacher of this course — Writers’ Workshop– along with creating a community of writers, she has offered opportunities for students to explore the connections between the textual and the visual.  The course is an adventure in writing that draws upon the idea of writing as exploration or as she quotes E.M. Forster, “How do I know what I think until I see what I say?”(1927).
