Though my interests and foci range widely, my research program is fundamentally rooted in rhetorical theory. The underlying goal of my dissertation was a fuller understanding of sociopolitical and technosocial agency. I hope to extend the theoretical orientation developed in this work to what is only roughly indicated in “A Gesture Theory of Communication”: the ethical implications and ramifications of the current cultural emphasis on data and information—a phenomenon that has been called ‘algorithmic culture’. My research and scholarship centers upon the application and extension of rhetorical theories to the investigation of discourse and communication (as interaction) in the contemporary, highly mediated, always connected world, and the ethical implications and obligations of such connection. My wide-ranging interests—across the social and natural sciences, technology studies, and the humanities—provide a rich perspective with a potential that is unobtainable within a more narrow disciplinary purview.
