WELCOME!

I’m a PhD Candidate in Composition & Rhetoric at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where I’m completing my dissertation in the areas of rhetoric and technology studies.  I’m currently serving as the Assistant Director of the English 201: Intermediate Composition program, and have designed and taught a range of courses at UW, including a graduate-level Writing Studies seminar for high school English teachers as well as various undergraduate rhetoric and composition courses addressing topics such as Writing and Technology, Rhetoric and Network Culture, and the Problems of Authorship (see the Teaching page for more on these and other courses).

In addition to completing my dissertation and negotiating the academic job market, I’m also currently revising an article manuscript on complexity theory and writing technologies for submission later this year as part of a cluster on complexity theory and rhetorical studies. And in March 2010 I'll be presenting a version of the first chapter of my dissertation at CCCC in Louisville, KY entitled "Into the Ether-Net: Rhetoric and Concealment in the Age of Wireless Computing."
