Tyler Branson , PHD

I am a college professor who researches issues in education policy, higher education administration, and writing programs. My book Policy Regimes: College Writing and Public Education Policy in the United States, was published by Southern Illinois University Press in 2022. I love helping students bridge the divide between secondary and postsecondary learning, as well as working with teachers of all stripes.
