I think I see my work as very much
cutting across a few different disciplinary divides. Certainly
intersecting composition studies but also
intersecting
new media studies
and certainly sexuality studies as well.
Maybe that's a complex intersection
when I juggle them all at once.
And
it's interesting that I resort to the mixed metaphor to describe this,
but it seems to me that one of the things that's most
provocative and theoretically, methodologically useful about
something like composition studies is its openness to thinking
in terms of multidisciplinarity and interdisciplinarity. And when I
see work in discursivity occurring in sexuality studies,
I inevitably think about
composition studies and how the discursivity of sexuality studies
might impact composition studies and vice versa.
And, certainly when I see work in new media studies that is
deeply rhetorical, I am very much concerned with
who is communicating and how and for what purpose, through what media
and in what modalities and genres.
I inevitably think about, of course, composition studies as well, and
its deep concern with issues of diversity, multimodality, genre.
