Andrew Todd is a Teaching Assistant Professor in the English Department, specializing in contemporary fiction and narrative theory. He teaches an English 101 that explores “dangerous rhetoric” such as conspiracy theories and disinformation, and an English 102 themed as Inquiry into Fan Culture. He also commonly teaches Writing in the Workplace (English 295) and Introduction to Fiction (English 253). His classes often include game-based activities, digital composition, and collaborative composition.

Andrew researches contemporary and nontraditional narrative forms, particularly those requiring interaction or specific work on the part of the reader or user to uncover the full text. This includes print novels with hybrid text-image formats, non-linear layouts, and experimentation with the physical book. It also includes an interest in video games, digital narrative forms such as “Alternative Reality Games,” and the collective storytelling that occurs in cooperative gaming such as Dungeons and Dragons. He is currently beginning work into a concept of forensic storytelling, which includes much of the above.
