I joined the Rhetoric faculty at the University of Minnesota 1999, having received my Ph.D. in English in that year from Pennsylvania State University. Along with many of my Rhetoric colleagues, I am now a member of the Department of Writing Studies, housed in the College of Liberal Arts.
My research is focused on the first rhetorical canon, Invention, and involves investigations of rhetorical and literary treatments of authorship and ownership. Beyond my visual rhetoric scholarship, I have a particular interest in Internet-related issues, having published Peers, Pirates, and Persuasion: The Rhetoric of the Peer-to-Peer Debates. My scholarship has also been published in First Monday, Computers and Composition, KBJournal, Rhetoric Review, Rhetoric Society Quarterly, and a number of edited volumes.
I'm currently working on a book-length project on the impact of digital media on our understanding of written composition — and composition more generally.
