Research Interests:
Social Networking Websites, Online Identities, Digital Embodiment, AIDS/HIV in the Digital Era, Digital Documentation, Computer Gaming, Performance Theory, and Spatiality in Digital Environments
My research is focused on the status of bodies in the digital age – including the construction of identity in online environments and the status of disease in the digital age. I have published on the simultaneous emergence of the computer virus with AIDS/HIV and how these categories have informed one another. I have also published on the topic of digital documentation and how documents are involving the spectator-user in interactive ways while simultaneously limiting this interactivity according to who has access to these documents. This article directly coincides with my course called “Digital Diversity.” This course focuses on the digital divide and the construction of online identities (through things such as the “profile picture” on sites such as MySpace or Facebook to the creation of an avatar in Second Life). I also teach on the remediation of textual technologies as well as design interfaces.
