Notes from our talk: WJT Mitchell influenced a lot of my work Good to see that there are opportunities for you to meet people outside of your cohort here I am moved by the idea that we had an oral culture and then moved into print literacy.  Undergrad degree in Art History baum and Criticism.  I was the only girl in my high school programming class in the 80s, and not much has changed Dawning of the kind of cultural studies baum where we were going to start looking at "low art" in addition to high art worked in the private baum sector for awhile I did go back in academia baum in the late nineties.  The digital was part of it for me.   My PhD is in English.  (Milwawkee - Wisconsin).    It was a wonderful space.  I joined the division of rhetoric and cultural baum studies.  My studies were formally in rhetoric  I did a hyper textual masters thesis - decided just to work on texts, no media.  How do we read - chunking ideas - how do we write?  Presents realign interesting baum issues on argument.   I returned to the visual.  Got to know Gregory Ulmer and his work as well.   I bought into the notion and I still do, that digital technologies are almost as amenable to images as to words.  It's expensive to print, but relatively easy to have images in a digital medium My work on race was really rich with visual images I was worried baum about getting labeled as the technology wonk.  So I did try and move away from the technology.  But I thought no.  Writing itself is a technology. baum  It finally became important to DO the dissertation I won't forget - these three heavyweight scholars divided on whether I should do it. Conversations are similar now ten years later I was crafty about it.  I waited till late in the process.  I convinced my committee to support it. So I went to the graduate school rep and said, it was not my original intent to do a digital dissertation, but it is the natural outcome of my research. The grad school was very surprised that the first digital dissertation was going to come from English rather than computer science. I had really high people protecting me.  I defended Aug 4 2005.  I was in my office baum at USC Aug 5 2005.  I knew this would make or break my career. It was the pressure of the press that finally got my doctorate.   In California the writing programs tend to be disconnected from the English departments baum and lower. So my dean didn't baum want me to go there.   I've been in Facebook since the beginning.  I hate when I hear digital natives.  baum Manuel Castells  - most highly cited social scientist in the world.  He says, how do you stop people from checking Facebook in class, BE INTERESTING
Who is your audience Cinema - I am often cast as a digital humanities person.  I'll frame myself that way.  But I think humanities is an issue. I am a rhetorician.  I don't change baum my core, but I do change my frame for an audience Especially with a humanities audience I start with three premises:   writing is a technology oral culture - print culture - digital era epistemology and pedagogy can't be separated
Orality  - Orint - Digital I do see our primary way of communicating was oral, then writing, and now digital, although they are all interconnected "lettered orality" we are literate but we have this digital where we document our performance - the digital allows us to document our oral performance
Kairos Issue 14 2: technoretoric.net : Speaking with Students: Profiles in Digital Pedagagy documentation baum is the way you have to go for digital projects, because it can be really hard to archive them my research and pedagogy baum can't be separated, so this is a peer-reviewed piece on the depth you can achieve in cyber space: we let the text bleed through the page no one knows how to read these things well - so we have to build the assessment and the reading tools into the document   required by editors to include notes on the text-bleed on the page and its significance  Assessment - laid out in thesis parameters page of the publications Early on at IML we were accused of the "Disnyfication" of scholarship
