He is a current faculty fellow at UVA in the middle east and South Asian track, editor of Studies of Writing and Rhetoric, and facilitator of Engaged UVA, a community partnership program at the University of Virginia. From his Engaged UVA biography, Steve’s current work focuses on his work with Syrian activists to record the human rights abuses of the current regime, ISIS, and militia active in Syria.
Take a look at (or, have a listen to) this podcast interview with Parks on Pedagogue Podcast (scroll to episode four). In this episode, Parks talks about the writing classroom as a space that validates students’ literacies, how he shifts his identity to help create a more inclusive classroom, as well as strategies for creating and sustaining community partnerships. A transcript of the interview is available here.
