Daniel Sansing on Theory and Teaching


Daniel Sansing discusses his interest in writing and communication theories. Sansing studies academic composition and teaching composition courses. 

The myth that autistics are only concrete thinkers dismisses the uniqueness of individuals. Yes, some of us are concrete thinkers... and we can still study theories, too. 

I study rhetoric and writing, but not first-year college composition, which is a course designed to help students transition into higher education.
