His research combines approaches from Critical Disability Studies and the Rhetoric of Health and Medicine to study in public discourses of mental health and neuroscience. His pedagogy integrates theories and practices of writing that support multiply marginalized communities by centering the individual student’s understanding of their own experiences in education and culture more broadly. Holladay’s current manuscript-length research project, Composing Bodyminds: Activist Rhetoric, Embodiment, and the Politics of Mental Health, uses material embodiment as a lens to analyze the differences between traditional medical and mental health advocacy and emerging practices of intersectional activism.
