IanI'm a teacher of communication, rhetoric, and composition, and I'm a librarian. My work focuses on understanding the intersection of mis/disinformation, demagoguery, and democratic discourse. I loved Twitter for all the academics I followed, particularly the historians. I'd love to connect with anyone on politics, history, rhetoric, language, and cultural criticism.
Bob Stepno@ianjporter Pleased to meet you. I find that the hashtagging on profiles and #introduction pages does help connect with other people, #histodons, #librarians, #ukulele players and #journalists included ... although I'm still looking for more people geographically close to where I live in the #NewRiverValley of #Virginia.
