Leah Senatro received her Ph.D. in English from University of California, Irvine with focuses in rhetoric and composition and the medical humanities. She is excited to return to her undergraduate alma mater, Santa Clara University, to teach Critical Thinking and Writing classes as an Assistant Teaching Professor.

As a scholar of rhetoric and disability studies, her research explores the rhetorical and historical consequences of embodiment, illness, and sensorial experience. She continues these explorations through embodied and collaborative pedagogies in her writing classrooms.
