About

I earned my PhD from SUNY Albany in Writing, Teaching, and Criticism in 1997. Since then I've taught at Georgia Tech, Penn State, SUNY Cortland, and now at the University at Buffalo.

I study digital media networks with a particular interest in their operation within humanities pedagogy and scholarship. My 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. I am co-editor of Design Discourse, a collection of essays on the construction of technical and professional writing curriculum. I have also published articles in several journals and book collections.

My primary blog, Digital Digs (www.alex-reid.net), deals with developments in new media, rhetoric, and higher education.
