I joined the Rhetoric faculty of 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 intellectual property. I have a particular interest in Internet-related issues, having published Peers Pirates and Persuasion: Rhetoric in the Peer-to-Peer Debates. My scholarship has also been published in College English, First Monday, Computers and Composition, Rhetoric Review, Rhetoric Society Quarterly, KBJournal, and a number of edited volumes.
I'm currently working on Writing in the Clouds, a book-length project on the impact of digital media on our understanding of written composition — and composition more generally.
