Deborah Maltby began to teach college English after a career in public relations and journalism. She has taught all levels of undergraduate writing and literature and conducted archival research in nineteenth century British government documents that marginalized rural workers. Her broad background enhances her classes in Advanced Expository Writing and Feature Writing. Always interested in challenging student learning, she is creating an Advanced Expository Writing class with a theme of education, literacy, and service-learning; students will be able to tutor elementary school students in reading. "What ties all this together for me is my love of reading, writing, and texts," she says.
