I am currently the Assistant Professor of Digital Rhetoric at Stevenson University in Maryland and a member of the editorial collective of the Journal of Interactive Technology and Pedagogy. I have also taught as an instructor at NYU’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study, Marywood University, Wilkes University, and King’s College. During my time as a doctoral student as the Graduate Center, CUNY, I was a graduate teaching fellow at BMCC and an Instructional Technology Fellow through the Macaulay Honors College. At the Graduate Center I completed my certificate in Interactive Technology and Pedagogy, was the co-director of the CUNY Digital Humanities Initiative, and was formerly the co-chair of the GC Composition & Rhetoric Group.
My research focuses on the relationship between technology and writing, which leads me to apply digital humanities methods to the questions raised by composition and rhetoric theory. My general research interests also include textual studies, new media, and post-humanism. I am the co-founder and project manager of The Writing Studies Tree, the digital project I work on with Ben Miller and Jill Belli. The purpose of this blog is to centralize my thoughts on the role of technology in my scholarship and teaching. You can also follow me on twitter @amandalicastro.

good luck with your blog – like the skin, and certainly drawn by the blog’s title.
…but here because of a looong path, via WP themes, then wanting to know what BuddyPress is, then following BP’s link to institutions using BP, then to Cuny’s list of blogs… and voila!
postgraduate study too huh?
well, if you;re going to be an academic, it’s as good a way as any to be ‘dyed in the family ways’ – for all other professions, well, hmmm. standards are falling all over, and so, a BA is not worth much these days, hence the need to acquire higher quals – and the university’s need to encourage more students for underwriting their financial position – hence dropping standards and so on.
my advice – study is its own reward. the rest is just a job.
best wishes,
