Dr. Stambler's current research focuses on health and wellness rhetorics, with a focus on ableism, health disparities, literacies, and justice. Her scholarship and teaching approach writing and rhetoric by focusing on how texts mediate and circulate power and how, in turn, we can use writing for advocacy and change.
