Lisa E. Wright’s work has been published in or is forthcoming in Hippocampus Magazine, Meridians Journal and Praxis: A Writing Center Journal. She has a co-authored book chapter “Creative Writers Teach Techniques for Analyzing Any Text” in Who Teaches Writing? She is working on a manuscript “The Ring of Fire: A Memoir” which chronicles her home births with her midhusband. It further examines Black women’s birthing choices, with a particular focus on the delegitimation of Black midwives, and on creating safe birthing spaces inside, and outside of medical institutions. Her work has been supported by the New York State Summer Writers Institute. She is the recipient of the 2022 Women’s Faculty Council Student Research Award at Oklahoma State University, and the 2022 Geneva Smitherman Award for Research in Black Language, Literacies, Cultures, and Rhetorics.
