Profile Summary

Alecia Beymer is a poet, educator, and researcher whose work is deeply rooted in English Education, qualitative methodologies, arts‑based inquiry, and humanizing pedagogies. Her poetry has appeared in The Inflectionist Review, Sugar House Review, SWWIM, Rust & Moth, Radar Poetry, and other journals. Her work has received recognition from Bellevue Literary Review, Nimrod Journal, the Wisconsin Fellowship of Poets, Wisconsin People & Ideas, and Gordon Square Review, and her chapbook Tree Surgeon was a finalist for the New Women’s Voices Prize at Finishing Line Press. Alecia began teaching poetry during her MFA at Chatham University, where she worked with incarcerated writers through the Words Without Walls program—an experience that solidified her commitment to humanizing, community‑engaged pedagogies and the transformative potential of creative writing. She has since taught in community spaces, secondary English classrooms, and higher‑education settings, and has held editorial roles at Autumn House Press, Fourth River, and the Center for Poetry at Michigan State University. Her research bridges poetry and poetics, multimodal literacies, and interdisciplinary, community‑engaged approaches to English education. She specializes in qualitative and arts‑based research methods, critical theory, and culturally responsive‑sustaining pedagogies, with a commitment to centering identity, lived experience, relationality, and care‑based inquiry. Her scholarship appears in English Education, Art/Research International, English in Education, Research in the Teaching of English, and other leading journals. Alecia holds a PhD in Curriculum, Instruction, and Teacher Education from Michigan State University and is currently an Assistant Professor–Educator in the Department of English at the University of Cincinnati. In both her scholarship and creative work, she is especially interested in ecopoetics, forms of attachment and intimacy, and the poetics of teaching. Across all projects, she brings a reflective, collaborative, and research‑informed approach that integrates creative practice with rigorous, humanizing inquiry.
