Dr. Gilchrist: I am a Professor of Secondary Curriculum & Instruction at Samford University. I have 8 years of experience teaching Art, Literature, and Writing in middle school. I've taught qualitative research for The University of Alabama, and enjoy writing and rich qualitative style research. I have my PhD in English Curriculum & Instruction from The University of Alabama. I love learning and being around others doing the same. My motivation each day is rooted in the idea that I can inspire someone to love writing just as much as I do. The fact that my job revolves around literature, writing, and creativity makes me love what I do even more. While I love teaching, being a part of teacher education allows me to branch out and see what's being done in more classes than just my own. Learning happens in "community"; thus teacher education is an amazing place to be.
