Current Research & Projects

 

Writing in the Age of Speed
In this book manuscript, I examine the relationship between technologies and changing concepts of time.  The human experience of time has been particularly changed with the advent of the worldwide Web.  I argue that speed deserves closer examination because it is transforming the nature of literacy today.

Speed Culture Literacies
In this essay, I define and demonstrate the prominence of what I call speed culture.  I examine how speed culture works to sponsor literacies, which have hitherto been under-examined and argue that twenty-first century literacies can be best understood through their imbrication within speed culture.
