Teacher, writer, and unrepentant generalist working at the oblique 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. Put another way, I’m interested in what happens to people when print culture and other, older ways of knowing and being get usurped by screens, computers, and the like. Before this, I used to do other stuff, including work in film production, web design, 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 was a critical history of the early life hacking movement.
