DigiRhet.Net Gets Article Published

Several WIDE researchers, both students and faculty, have published an article in Pedaogy. The authors of the work wrote the piece collaboratively after participating in a Digital Rhetoric course taught in the Professional Writing (PW) program at Michigan State University in the fall semester of 2004. Both undergraduate (from sophomore to senior standing) and graduate students (MA and PhD) attended the class, from fields of study including English; economics; critical studies in literacy and pedagogy; professional writing; rhetoric and writing; and telecommunications, information systems, and media. The focus of the course was to address two questions: What is digital rhetoric? How do reading and writing practices change in digital environments? The course was organized around three main goals: to explore the dynamics of digital reading and writing by examining the rhetorical, social, cultural, political, educational, and ethical dimensions of digital texts; to interrogate issues of technology and literacy; and to examine identity (including gender, race, class, and more), subjectivity, and representation in digital spaces.

The article appears in Pedagogy Volume 6, Issue 2, Spring 2006 and can be accessed through most library databases.
