Justin Young has written and studied writing all over the country. He started in Olympia, Washington at The Evergreen State College, where he completed a BA.focused on literature. He then moved to New York City to enter a creative writing MA program at the City College of New York, where he intended to emulate the great writers he loved.
Although he soon found that he wasn't likely to write the next Great American Novel, Justin did realize that he wanted to make a career out of writing, teaching, and learning about writing. And so, after completing his degree at City College, he moved from NYC to Norman, Oklahoma to begin a Ph.D. in Composition, Rhetoric, and Literacy at the University of Oklahoma. After finishing the degree at OU, where his studies focused on digital literacy and critical pedagogy, he returned to the Northwest to direct the Writing Center at the UWB. He now enjoys sharing his passion for writing, as well as his interest in digital rhetorics and student-centered teaching, with the faculty and students of UWB.
