I’m Assistant Professor of Writing and Rhetoric at
Syracuse University, where I teach and study digital rhetoric,
rhetorical theory,
intellectual property theory, distance learning, and technical
& professional communication. Over the past
five years, I’ve received teaching awards from my
graduate institutions, and was selected as the
recipient of the 2009 Kairos Graduate and Adjunct Award for Research.
Currently, I’m exploring the sort of authorship
that occurs within the tight genre constraints of the western
encyclopedic tradition, particularly as demonstrated in the 1728/38 Chambers
Cyclpaedia and Wikipedia. I also examine
the ways digital affordances
impact encyclopedic authorship, particularly when bots are introduced,
as well as the pragmatic implications that fluctuating authorship
situations pose for contemporary copyright law. Most recently, my work
in this area has appeared in The
Responsibilities of Rhetoric (Smith & Warnick, 2009).
