Dr. Torres approaches writing as a cultural tool for navigating complex systems. His research explores how writers construct an identity through writing in various contexts. He has published studies investigating the ways students write themselves into a particular discipline as well as how students interpret faculty feedback on their writing. He has also published ethnographic research about the ways oral history narratives sustain spiritual identities in Cuba.
Dr. Torres is also a thought leader in higher education. As the Director for the Center of Teaching and Learning, he applies the scholarship of teaching and learning to pedagogical practice, translating theory into lived experience.
