Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

I conduct practice-based research in Creative Writing and Digital Media, specifically in multimodal and multimedia storytelling, multi-authored or community-sourced storytelling, the development of storyworld as a primary narrative tool, and the role of mythology in contemporary storytelling. I am also interested in theory-based research exploring the connections between postmodern print fiction and electronic or “born-digital” literature in terms of perspective and narrative structure, as well as how authorship and readership are shifting due to the evolution of these narratives. I have published practice-based research in Qualitative Inquiry, Publications, and Computers and Composition, with another under review at Convergence.
