Professor, Director of Composition
Animal Studies, Composition, Rhetorical Theory, Writing Studies
My research primarily examines how emerging digital technologies affect the way humans write and communicate, and explores the connections between three main areas: rhetorical theory, digital technologies, and environmental studies. Much of my environmental-based work seeks to address how changes in writing technologies affect the ways that humans relate to the environment, nonhuman animals, and concepts of nature.
