Abstract Details

2013, Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.), Bowling Green State University, English (Rhetoric and Writing) PhD.
My project, titled Post-Literacy: Designing Writing Curricula around Emerging Literate Activities, focuses on the integration of digital and multimodal literacies in first-year writing curricula. This dissertation situates itself among other scholarship in new literacies, such as the work of Gee, Selfe and Hawisher. Particularly focusing on digital and multimodal literacies, I utilize Actor-Network Theory (ANT) to analyze how digital and multimodal literacies emerge in one first-year writing curriculum. By using ANT, it is my goal to identify the curricular and institutional structures that limit and facilitate the emergence of multimodal writing. Based on this research, I trace literacy as network and give specific recommendations on how to best use and incorporate digital and multimodal literacies in college writing curricula.
