Tristan Saldaña teaches composition and critical thinking with a focus on language, identity, and the social dimensions of argument. His academic interests include linguistic justice, cultural humility, rhetoric, and the ways narrative shapes both personal and collective meaning. In addition to his work in English, he is engaged in the study of psychology and human development, bringing an interdisciplinary lens to his teaching. He is particularly interested in how gateway courses can be designed to expand access while honoring students' diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds.
