Influenced by their past experiences withwriting, students encountering engineering genres such as reports and proposals may struggle towrite successfully [1]. They may struggle in part because of the messiness inherent in

To explore these questions, I conducted participant-observation fieldwork at astudent-run theater organization at a mid-sized technical university, identified by students as“outstandingly queer” for both its increased proportion of LGBTQ
