Among the many unpredictable issues that arose alongside the pandemic, a lack of interpersonal connection is arguably the most significant impact that I have experienced. Adding onto this, the imprint that the virtual workspace has made in our lives has been a quick change for myself, in which, I found it difficult to adapt my entire life to correspond with these changes. From school to work, and even socializing with my friends and loved ones, this digital era has overhauled the trajectory of all I know. As such, it is truly refreshing to be a part of the team here at The Write Spot
It is with great pleasure that we welcome Julie Anne Nord to our team as the new Writing and Communication Advisor for our Undergraduate Programs. With her impressive background in teaching and writing, we are excited to see her take on this new role.
Julie's passion for teaching and writing began early in her life, and she has since developed her skills through a variety of experiences and training. Her work as a Lead Writing Fellow and volunteer writing tutor, as well as her experience as a Graduate Teaching Assistant and private music instructor, make her an excellent fit for this role. We are confident that her expertise will greatly benefit our undergraduate students.
The book Virtual Identities and Digital Culture just dropped today and includes the chapter "From a Group of Friends to a Mainstream Audience: Critical Role and New Media Publics" authored by the WCC's own Multimodal and Public Scholarship Developer Elise Vist and former WCC Arts First Coordinator Betsy Brey!
Using the popular live-play tabletop role-playing game (TTRPG) show Critical Role as a case study, Brey and Vist demonstrate that the ways creators take up the affordances of new media shape the kinds of publics that are invited and expected as their fandom. We're definitely checking this out!
