Originally from the Bitterroot Valley of western Montana,  I’m currently a professor in the Department of Rhetoric and Writing at the University of Texas at Austin. My work, from scholarly research to multimedia installations to video to poetry, focuses on the evocative intersections of embodiment, sexuality, and technologies. I’m the author or co-author/editor of seven books, including the award-winning On Multimodality: New Media in Composition Studies (NCTE, 2014) and Techne: Queer Meditations on Writing the Self (CCDP, 2015). My most recent book is the 2024 Routledge Handbook of Contemporary Feminist Rhetoric, co-edited with Suban Nur Cooley. I’m also a filmmaker: Once a Fury, my documentary that profiles a lesbian separatist collective from the early 1970s, is available to watch at TelloFilms or buy at GoodDocs. I’m currently juggling three main projects: a “song cycle” of short films called I Am My Beloveds, a monograph on the troubled and troubling history of women’s liberation rhetoric, and a book of essays on grief and aging. For a little more on those, see a conversation I had with Derek Mkhaiel in Composition Forum.
