My teaching is significantly informed by the rhetorical concepts of kairos (timeliness) and poiesis (making/creating). That is, I strive to keep my courses and assignments current by encouraging students to work in the moment, taking advantage of the most opportune tools, technologies, and research. As a teacher I feel it is important to continue to learn and grow continuously. I strive to do that by exploring new pedagogical methods as well as responding to student and collegial feedback. As a researcher my interests include User Experience (Accessibility, Hardware, Design), Digital Dissertations, & Digital Humanities. My current project looks at the way the design of medieval/gothic cathedrals could influence the UX practice of way finding. My work has been supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities. I have published in Kairos, ACM SIGDOC Proceedings, and MediaCommons as well as chapters in several book projects. Advising New Types of Dissertations: A Primer for Faculty and Administrators.
