Dr. Kim Jaxon

I’m a Professor of English (Composition & Literacy) at California State University, Chico and Coordinator of Undergraduate Research for Undergraduate Education (UED). I received my Ph.D. at UC, Berkeley in the Language & Literacy, Society & Culture program in the Graduate School of Education. My research interests focus on theories of literacy, particularly digital literacies, the teaching of writing, course design, and teacher education. Honored to be awarded the California Association of Teachers of English (CATE) College Teaching Excellence award in 2014; the Outstanding Teacher at Chico State 2019-2020; the Diversity & Inclusion Award in 2019; and the Chico Rotary Educator of the Year in 2021.

Finally, I’m a self proclaimed gamer and geek.
