Teach­ing with WordPress
Tim­o­thy Recuber
Tim­o­thy Recu­ber, of the Writ­ing Cen­ter, talks about his recent expe­ri­ence teach­ing with Word­Press, a pop­u­lar content-management and blog­ging plat­form hosted at Prince­ton. He describes the chal­lenges of bal­anc­ing the open-ended, cre­ative nature of the medium with the need for schol­arly rigor and ped­a­gog­i­cal utility.
About the speaker:
Tim­o­thy Recu­ber is a soci­ol­o­gist who focuses on mass media and con­sumer cul­ture. He has writ­ten about the deploy­ment of ther­a­peu­tic dis­course in online archives devoted to dis­as­ters and their vic­tims, about the ways in which pop­u­lar cul­ture has helped inspire fears of ter­ror­ism, and about the impact of “immer­sive” pro­jec­tion tech­nol­ogy and the­ater archi­tec­ture on con­tem­po­rary cin­ema spec­ta­tor­ship. His other schol­arly inter­ests include urban stud­ies, race and eth­nic­ity, and the soci­ol­ogy of emotion.
