Teaching.. Publications.. Video Blog...marcbousquet.net

My main interest right now is the intersection of education, new media and democracy. I'm developing a new two-course sequence for the core curriculum, Writing with New Media 1 and 2. The first term focusses on hypertext for academic research writing. In the second term, we'll remix Cory Doctorow's novel Little Brother in machinima (animated film made from footage captured in video games or virtual communities) and do other cool things. I've also revised the syllabus for English 138, Internet Culture.

In addition to the video project at my home blog and a couple of book projects, I blog at the Chronicle of Higher Education and The Valve. I currently serve on the AAUP national Council, on the Executive Committee of MLA's Division on Teaching as a Profession, and on the advisory board of several journals and organizations, including Critical Education, Academe, Edu-Factory, Peace Studies Journal, New Faculty Majority, and Workplace.

New video releases on the youtube channel will resume sometime in late spring 2010, I hope. In the meanwhile see this video from AAUP or Higher Exploitation, Jeff Williams' very kind extended interview with me in the most recent minnesota review.
