Matt Thomas

I’m a teacher and writer working at the intersection of English, rhetoric and composition, communication studies, media studies, science and technology studies, and U.S. history. Or, as I like to think of it, where American studies meets media ecology. On the side sometimes, I design, build, and manage websites. Before this, I used to do other stuff, including work in film production and private security. I have a B.A. from the University of Southern California and a Ph.D. from the University of Iowa. Both in American studies. My dissertation project, which you may or may not be interested in, was a critical history of the early life hacking movement.
