Jacob Craig received his Ph.D. in English, with concentrations in composition theory, digital rhetoric, and multimodal composition from Florida State University. His research is focused on the technologies–devices, file formats, platforms, and networks–that people use in daily acts of literate practice. Specifically, through this focus on technology and practice, he studies what effects digital culture has had on how people practice writing and make meaning.
