Educators are innovators.
Hello Friend!
I’m Dr. Rachel Panton! Thanks for stopping by!
I have taught writing for 19 years and my courses and interests primarily focus on women's narratives of wellness and transformation. Most recently, I served as a guest editor for the University of California, Berkeley’s Race and Yoga Journal, where I led the publication for Sassin’ Through Sadhana, a special volume dedicated to the stories of black women yoga instructors, inspired by my dissertation research.
As a writing coach, editor, and ghostwriter, I also serve women in the community who have inspiring memoirs to tell of hope, growth, and healing. My most recent scholarly work has appeared in Black Women’s Mental Health: Balancing Strength and Vulnerability (SUNY, 2017) and New Directions in Teaching and Learning (Jossey-Bass, 2016).
Feel free to contact me to learn more about me and my offerings!
