Baxter: “Online Citation and New Media Scholarship”

citation
Chair, Masters thesis committee. Susan Baxter. (2007, July). “Online Citation and New Media Scholarship: Kairos and the Case for Online Publication.” Utah State University.

description
As chair of Baxter’s Masters thesis committee, I guided her through writing an article-length thesis with an accompanying 72-page appendix that included her data. She spent a semester archiving all citations within Kairos: A Journal of Rhetoric, Technology, and Pedagogy and then coding them according to genre type so that she could compare the ways Kairos webtexts cited particular genres with other studies on the ways print articles cited those same (or different) genres. As of 2009, Baxter currently works full-time as a technical writer.

White: “Enlightenment Aisle Eight”

citation
Chair, Masters thesis committee. Melinda White. (2007, April). “Enlightenment Aisle Eight” [creative/multimedia]. Utah State University.

description
As chair of White’s committee, I worked with colleagues on one of the department’s first creative, digital theses, “Enlightenment Aisle Eight.” White  drew on electronic literature and hypertext theory as well as creative writing to make an interactive, multimedia thesis. She also wrote an analytical essay describing the theories she used and why. After graduation, White began the interdisciplinary PhD program in Media, Art, and Text where she also has served as an assistant editor to the online literary journal, Blackbird.
