Her work focuses on supporting writing across differences and developing practices that support writers as they negotiate between writing situations, as they assess and adapt to varying demands across the disciplines, and as they translate across writing situations using their writing-related knowledge or repertoires of resources that they have cultivated along the multiple pathways they create and traverse daily. Previously, Mandy served as Assistant Director of the Center for Teaching & Learning and Teaching Faculty at Antioch University Seattle.
