Professor Denny’s research focuses on composition studies, writing center theory and practice, cultural studies, research methods, and program writing assessment. His recent project, co-authored with Vicki Kennell Garret Colón, titled 'Taking Flight Purdue OWL: Institutional History Review,' examines the emergence of one-to-one support in writing and the growth of technological innovations in internet-based writing resources. It uses data analytics to understand the global impact of writing centers. His book 'Gender, Sexuality and Cultural Politics: Men’s Identity in the New Millennium: Literacies of Masculinity' published by Routledge, maps connections between media, popular culture, and pedagogy in reading and writing performances related to masculinity. Additionally, Denny is the author of 'Center: Public Controversies, Private Struggles,' co-edited with Anna Sicari, Rob Mundy, Lila Naydan, and Richard Severe, which deepens conversations on writing centers and identity politics while foregrounding authentic voices and experiences of tutors and administrators navigating everyday sessions of disclosure and embodiment of difference. His monograph, 'Facing Center: Identity Politics in One-to-one Mentoring,' also published by Utah State University Press, explores the sociocultural dynamics that impact everyday interactions in writing conferences. Professor Denny’s scholarship has explored issues surrounding writing centers, particularly as sites for community-building and cross-cultural/disciplinary dialogue.
