Devon Fitzgerald

Hi! I'm Devon Fitzgerald.

I am an Associate Professor in English and teach rhetoric and writing courses at Winthrop University where I also direct the University Writing Center.

My research primarily focuses on online communities, identity and tensions between the private and the public. I also teach and research podcasts, soundwriting, and feminist and queer theory.

A recent article with Dr. Amber Buck and published in Computers and Composition Online argues for and develops an ethical heuristic for studying online participation in social media.

Most recently, I published a book chapter on mentoring as a writing center methodology in Mentorship/Methodology edited by Leigh Gruwell and Charles Lesh.

My current project centers on intellectual property and DIY and maker communities.

I spend most of my time with my dog, Beau and perfecting the best cup of coffee.
