Asst Professor
St Edward's University
I am an assistant professor of English writing and rhetoric at St. Edward’s University in Austin, Texas, where I teach classes in information design, technical and business communication, and writing for the web. My research focuses on identity, reputation, and credibility in online communities — three concepts that all hearken back to the Greek notion of "ethos." I am interested in the strategies people use to build their own ethos, evaluate the ethos of their online interlocutors, and contribute to the collective ethos of the communities to which they belong.
