My work centers on understanding the complex cultural transformations brought about by the change from an analog archive to one whose substructure is a digital network. Particularly I am interested in how democracy, politics, civic practices, and publics are altered by this digital media landscape.

Since I firmly believe in, and advocate for "open source" knowledge production, I make as much of my work as possible freely available here. Please feel free to use/borrow/steal whatever you find useful. (Unless noted otherwise, everything here is licensed under a Creative Commons license.)

I teach both undergraduate and graduate classes in Emerging Media here at UT-Dallas. Most of the classes I teach deal with media theory and network theory. I also teach project based courses where the goal is not only to critique the current digital media landscape, but to learn by producing objects for it as well (from Transmedia Narratives to Political Blogs).

Since I firmly believe in, and advocate for "open source" knowledge production, I make as much information as possible available to the wider public. Information on both current and past courses I have taught can be found on the teaching page, along with links to all of the syllabi. Please feel free to use/borrow/steal whatever you find useful.
