My primary research interest is the intersection of online writing pedagogy and surveillance studies, and how rhetoric and critical digital literacy can be used as methods of resistance against Educational Technology surveillance practices. I am also interested in the ways in which student autonomy, informed consent, and access to educational resources overlap with online learning and surveillance.
