Research/Areas of Interest
My research lies at the intersection of rhetoric, writing, technology, theory, ethics,
and teaching. My research argues that the increasing power and ubiquity of digital
technologies calls for us to rethink both the obligations of rhetoric and our discipline鈥檚 pedagogic methods. Attending to phenomenological, feminist, and
affective theories can help rhetoric develop an ethical orientation that leads to
more productive public deliberation. Additionally, my research addresses how we, as
scholars and teachers, can help realize these ethical and civic ambitions through
postpedagogy, which I identify as prioritizing spontaneous, unpredictable learning
over pre-programmed teaching. Finally, my research speaks to the growing importance
of digital publishing and the digital humanities. A number of my publications are
websites or multimodal installations. I am committed--both in my research and in my
teaching--to leveraging digital technology in order to connect scholarly and pedagogical
activity to the civic world.
