Paige has always loved teaching. She has worked as a tutor, writing center consultant, swimming coach, and as a student teacher in secondary schools. As a post-secondary instructor, Paige has served as a recitation leader, grader, and instructor of record at Auburn University and the Ohio State University. She has also been a facilitator for the Drake Institute’s Graduate Teaching Orientation, where she was a co-teacher for pedagogy workshops for new graduate teaching associates. Paige has been an instructor for a variety of classes, including first-year composition, second-year writing, British literature, American literature, world literature, introduction to film, business writing, disability studies, video games and tabletop games, and introduction to fiction.

As an instructor, Paige is committed to implementing accessible, flexible, inclusive, and student-centered pedagogies. She sees the classroom as a space for conversation, where she is just as excited to learn from her students as she is to teach. She strives to continue to diversify her approaches to teaching, not only in terms of course topics and modalities, but also with regards to strategies for skill transference, alternative forms of assessment, and accessible design.

Paige has published and is currently working on publications in the fields of game studies, utopian studies, Victorian literature, and life writing. Her dissertation, “Nineteenth-Century Nowhere: Mapping Utopian and Dystopian Rhetoric in Literature and Life Writing,” is an interdisciplinary study of nineteenth-century British and American utopian fiction and intentional communities. In her dissertation, Paige theorizes the concept of utopian and dystopian rhetoric and applies her analysis to eugenics and utopianism in the nineteenth century.
