I’m a fourth-year PhD candidate in Composition and Cultural Rhetoric (CCR) at Syracuse University. I have a B.A. in Philosophy (2013) and M.A. in English (2015) from St. Bonaventure University.
My research interests center on questions of (nontraditional) authorship, intertextuality, and play. This informs my dissertation process, which reframes our rhetorical understanding of games in terms of community engagement and circulation across platforms.
Lately, I have taken a particular interest in post-truth rhetoric, fake news, media literacy, algorithmic rhetoric, and the intersection of media sources, which has increasingly informed my teaching.
I have a Twitter, a LinkedIn, and a Tumblr. Here is my current CV.

Yup, I’m right there with you, trying to make sense of things 🙂

Never too many!
Hi Brett 😉 Thanks for stopping by my blog… To find the truth about life is through the heart and not the mind. The mind cannot comprehend the depths of the heart… Everything in this universe is made of energy and you only can only feel it… Sometimes you can’t even say it… Anyways that’s apart of the mysteries of life… Seek and you shall find…
Thanks, for the comment. Often most of the journey is keeping one’s eyes open, I suppose.
Too many books?
Is it possible 😉
Haha, I don’t think it is. Thanks for stopping by.

Dear Brett,
I’ve just discovered your blog and I like very much: philosophical thought that I can understand without being a philosopher myself. Great.
Thanks and kind regards, Kai
