Bio

Sara Dye's research examines religious and political values, identities, and rhetorics and their interactions with public life, policy, and pedagogy. Examples of her research include writing classroom research, an ethnographic study of a nonprofit, and a USDA grant-funded national qualitative study. Hospitality is the foundational value on which her pedagogy is built. When she is not working, she is most likely lifting, cooking, leading her book club, or playing outside.
