All of the websites I have created over the years were hosted on WSU's webspace, and unfortunately they have since been deleted. But I am happy to continue to provide information on those projects, even though they're no longer accessible.
Postmodernism: A Greater Understanding
This site was made in Spring 2006. I created this site as my final project for an undergraduate course called Humanities in the Modern World. Since then, I have been contacted by dozens of students, instructors, and researchers around the world thanking me for the straightforward approach to postmodern culture and for helping them with their research. Two pages from this website — the definition and postmodern art pages — are included in the articles section of smyart.com.
Digital Photography
Made in Fall 2006 with a classmate for Language, Texts, and Technology, this site examined cultural issues with digital photography and photographic manipulation.
Media Honesty
This site was a final project for Principles of Rhetoric in Fall 2006. I explored the effects of photo retouching and argued that print media should never be taken at face value.
Social Networking Sites and The Creation of Identity
In Spring 2007, I took a course called Digital Diversity; this site was my final project. I discussed the ways people choose to identify themselves online, focusing on MySpace and Facebook, and why this area of research is significant to cultural construction.
Composing for the Web
For Teaching with Technology in Spring 2008, our final project was to create a proposal for a class, complete with lesson plans and a syllabus, that took into account the issues we'd discussed all semester about teaching with technology. My class focused on examining ways to convey information digitally through various media, as well as the representation of individual, unique groups in online environments.
Constructing a Feminist Rhetoric on Facebook
This was a final project for Feminist Rhetorics in Fall 2008. I discussed the ways college-aged women present themselves on the social networking site Facebook.
The Virtual Panopticon: Identity Creation and Surveillance on Facebook
Here is a pdf version of my final portfolio paper for my MA. The paper analyzes identity creation, issues of subjectivity and privacy, and participatory surveillance on the social networking site Facebook.
College Hill Distoric District Sign
In Spring 2007, I took a course called Composition and Design. One assignment was to work with in a group to craft a proposal for a sign designating the College Hill Distoric District. My group's proposal was chosen by the College Hill Association, and then I took on the responsibility to work one-on-one with the CHA co-chair to redesign some elements before the signs were to go up around the district.Daily Evergreen article
