Bio

Lisa L. Coleman is Professor of English and Director of the Southeastern Oklahoma State University Honors Program. She serves as the Co-Chair of the Committee on Diversity Issues for the National Collegiate Honors Council. She has planned and coordinated the Diversity Forum at the national conference since 2005, served on the NCHC Publications Board since 1999, and served as a member of the NCHC conference planning committee for four national conferences. Most recently Coleman and Jon Kotinek (Texas A&M University) have co-edited Setting the Table for Diversity, a monograph published by the National Collegiate Honors Council (2010). In chapters gathered from honors administrators and honors faculty and their students from around the United States, their book argues that diversity in honors education must be coupled with equity and inclusion to be just. The monograph includes Coleman’s chapter, “Psyche as Text: Diversity Issues in First-Year Honors Composition.” In 2003-2004 Coleman and Lorien Goodman (Pepperdine University) co-edited a special double issue of Enculturation, titled Rhetoric/Composition: Intersections/Impasses/Differends. Coleman has also published articles in Composition Studies and the Journal of the National Collegiate Honors Council. In addition to her work in rhetoric/composition and honors education, Coleman is a Virginia Woolf scholar. Her chapter, “Writing as Unraveling: Woolf’s Gendered Deconstruction of War,” has been published in The Theme of Peace and War in Virginia Woolf’s Writings: Essays on Her Political Philosophy, edited by Jane Wood (Edwin Mellen Press 2010). She has also contributed a chapter titled “Woolf’s Feminism Comes in Waves” to Virginia Woolf in Context, a collection edited by Jane Goldman and Bryony Randall, forthcoming in 2011 from Cambridge University Press.
