Current Research:

Carolyn Guertin sees her scholarship, like her globally-networked field of digital media, as being international in nature and sees teaching as the vehicle to further that work. She serves on graduate faculties in Canada and Austria and will be a visiting professor at Universidad IberoAmericana in Mexico City in the summer of 2008. She is curator of the celebrated collection Assemblage: The Online Women's New Media Gallery out of the U.K., and is Senior McLuhan Fellow at the McLuhan Program in Culture and Technology at the University of Toronto—where she was SSHRC Postdoctoral Fellow from 2004-06. She earned her PhD with a study of cyberfeminist digital narrative and the technologies of memory in the Department of English at the University of Alberta, Canada. She also serves as a literary adviser to the Electronic Literature Organization. She has exhibited and published internationally, and does theoretical work in: cyberfeminism, hacktivism, born-digital arts and literatures, information aesthetics, cultural studies, postliteracy and the social practices surrounding technology (especially social networking and participatory culture). She is working on a new book called Connective Tissue: Queer Bodies, Postdramatic Performance and New Media Aesthetics.
