Figure/Ground’s latest scholarly interview is with Dr. Alex Reid. Dr. Read
earned his PhD from SUNY Albany in Writing, Teaching, and Criticism in
1997. Since then he’s taught at Georgia Tech, Penn State, SUNY Cortland,
and now at the University of Buffalo. He studies digital media networks
with a particular interest in their operation within humanities pedagogy
and scholarship. His book, The Two Virtuals: Composition and New Media,
examines the intersection of technologies of virtual reality with
philosophies of the virtual and considers how bringing these two discourses
together offers insight into teaching writing. He is co-editor of Design
Discourse, a collection of essays on the construction of technical and
professional writing curriculum. He has also published articles in several
journals and book collections. His primary blog, Digital Digs (
www.alex-reid.net), deals with developments in new media, rhetoric, and
higher education.
