Biography

Hope Parisi is Associate Professor of English and has taught at Kingsborough since 1994. She is the Academic Director of the Reading and Writing Center and the Co-Editor of Journal of Basic Writing. She served as the Chair of the English 90’s Committee for several years as the new ESL/ENG 90’s developmental English courses were being set in place. She is a positive, spirited teacher of ENG 91 where, as she believes, students bring great strengths as learners to the classroom and come to recognize their potential as college writers.

Professor Parisi is passionate about her connections to the Office of Access-Ability, TRiO Support Services, and their students. She is the Principal Investigator of a grant-funded project aligning TRiO services and tutors from the Reading and Writing Center. She has written on basic writing, tutoring, and access to education.
