Kirk Astle

Biography

Kirk Astle analyzes power formations through literary analyses of fictional representations as well as rhetorical analyses of non-fictional and professional texts. Having (re)written policies and curricula to accommodate growing levels of scale and greater accessibility, as well as to eradicate exclusionary educational practices whether conscious or unconsciously crafted, Dr. Astle finds oppressive formations can be eroded and replaced with increasing degrees of effective, constructive, and just discourses and practices.
