Areas of Research
01
Rhetorics of technology
My primary research involves investigating various historical periods when established and emerging communication technologies collided with one another. My interests lie in figuring out how society made sense of these moments of technological transition, the arguments they made in order to adjust to new communication practices, forms, and rules.
02
Digital culture
I also like to contemplate the sturm und drang that is our contemporary digital landscape, as well as the factors that help shape it: the cultural, the historical, the political, the technological, and the rhetorical.
03
New media pedagogy
As a teacher, I'm fascinated by the possibilities that new media technologies offer my students. By working with new media from both consumption and production standpoints, my goal is to promote students' critical thinking and active participation, along with stronger technical, rhetorical, and design sensibilities.
