My name is Rachael Jordan and I am an Assistant Professor of Technical and Professional Communication at the University of South Carolina. I hold a Ph.D. in Technical Communication & Rhetoric from Texas Tech University. I have an M.A. in English from CSU Northridge and a B.A. in English from CSU Channel Islands. Before becoming an assistant professor, I was a lecturer for 13 years at CSU Channel Islands.
My research interests are in queer rhetorics’ application to technical communication, specifically in regards to sexual literac(ies) and usability. I’m interested in problems of how the documents, texts, and technologies we create can enact oppression, such as reinscribing heteronormativity, and how we can use ethics to discuss social justice.
My Fall 2025 office hours are on Tuesdays/Thursdays from 9am-10am, 1pm-2pm, and by appointment.
