Teaching
As of this semester (Fall 2008), I'm planning to host all my teaching websites on a Drupal multisite portal. The pages below are for past courses and are provided for posterity.
The links below will take you to the homepages for courses taught at the University of Florida. Most of these classes have been taught in the Networked Writing Environment and relied heavily on the Web and other networking resources like MOOville.
[Note: These links will take you away from the current site to my course pages and syllabi in their original form. This means that they look progressively simpler as you move back in time and some links are probably broken.]

Teaching
I am teaching two courses this fall: "Forms of Narrative" (ENGL 251A) and "New Media: The False and the Virtual" (ENGL 376MM). More information about these courses is available on my teaching page.
Research
My dissertation is on videogame typography, and I have published on a number of topics related to games and other digital media. My continuing research interests focus on the material textuality of digital artifacts.
Please see my curriculum vitae for more information.
