I am an assistant professor of English at Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona. As a member of the graduate program in Rhetoric and Composition Studies, I teach courses on digital literacies, social media, online ethnography, and videogame studies. I write about the intersections of writing, literacy practices, and digital culture. I am especially interested in using trans-disciplinary research methods like ethnography, discourse analysis, and genre theory to document and theorize the ways that people write and use language in social media contexts.

I am originally from Overland Park, Kansas. I attended the University of Kansas and have since lived in Chicago, IL; Madison, WI; and Cambridge, MA. I met my husband @azrunning in 2009 and in 2011 we became parents to Nina Ruth Daer. We also have 2 dogs and live near campus in Tempe, Arizona.

I love politics, indie rock, and asking questions. Yes I know my name is "read" spelled backwards. It is pronounced "DARE." I was previously known as Alice Robison, and there are a lot of folks out there who aren't aware that she and Alice Daer are the same person.
