I’m Assistant Professor of Writing and Rhetoric at Syracuse University, where I teach and study digital rhetoric, rhetorical theory, authorship, intellectual property theory, and technical & professional communication. Over the past five years, I’ve received teaching awards from both of my graduate institutions as well as 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).
