Brendan Riley

I am a member of the English Department faculty at Columbia College Chicago. Columbia College provides a liberal arts-based education for students interested in careers in the performing and media arts. I teach Composition and New Media classes at Columbia, and look forward to participating in the Cultural Studies program.

I earned my PhD in English from the University of Florida in 2004, where I studied Film and Media Studies as well as Rhetoric and Composition. My research interests include: Rhetoric and Composition theory, particularly work in the sub-field of Computers & Writing; New Media studies; Grammatology (the study of the history of writing); and Film and Media Studies. My work has appeared in Kairos and Computers and Composition Online, among others. I also have some experience in programming web applications. For example, my web-based gradebook program is in use by several instructors in the English Department at the University of Florida.
