Angel Evans is a PhD student specializing in composition, rhetoric and literacy. She's interested in how culturally-relevant language practices function as modes of empowerment and healing, particularly for marginalized communities. She's also interested in “global” and “public” writing contexts. 

Prior to graduate study, Angel’s work aligned with three primary areas: media/grant-writing, community engagement and non-profit youth education. Her research and teaching are informed by this work. She hopes to equip students of all backgrounds with language tools that enrich their professional and lived experience.
