Hi! My name is Danielle Bacibianco, you can call me Dani! My pronouns are she/her. I am an Adjunct Professor of English for Kean University.
My dissertation, “Queerstory of Recovery: Literacy and Survival in A.A. (2021)”, received the 2022 Conference on College Composition and Communication Lavender Rhetorics Award for Excellence in Queer Scholarship Dissertation Award.
As an extension of this work, my research addresses the urgency of queer-affirming research practices in community literacy, addiction recovery studies, and public rhetoric.
I teach courses that involve interdisciplinary and qualitative methods of research, rhetoric and composition studies, community engagement, and addiction recovery literacy.
As of April 2020, I am a co-founder of the online sober initiative on Discord, “Sober Academics” (previously named “We Academics”), and I am also the founder of the podcasts, Queerstories of Recovery: Voices from the Margin and Voices from Rock Bottom.
As a queer, sober academic, I’m currently at work on a book project that bridges the personal and the political, the institutional, and the intimate through autoethnography.
Stay tuned for more details!
