Geisler's research program
Cheryl Geisler is an internationally recognized expert on coding verbal data. Her article on Coding for Language Complexity was the lead article in the April 2018 issue of Written Communication and she edited a special section of the Journal of Writing Research on Current and Emerging Methods in the Rhetorical Analysis of Texts in 2016. With Jason Swarts, she is writing Coding Streams of Language, which will be available for download from the WAC Clearinghouse and through a YouTube channel in the spring of 2019.
Geisler has also been recognized for her work on faculty advancement. In 2014, Rhetoric Society of America created the Cheryl Geisler Mentorship Award in recognition of 10 years of work on Career Retreats for Associate Professors. Her work with Deborah Kaminski on faculty retention in science and engineering was published in Science in 2012.
In 2019, Geisler was elevated to the rank of Fellow by the Association of Teachers of Technical Writing for "rigorous work has consistently served as a benchmark" (https://attw.org/2019-cheryl-geisler-and-mark-zachry/).
