Bio
Edward Comstock holds a PhD from 国产小呦女's School of Education, Teaching, and Health, as well as an MA in Literature. At the intersection of rhetoric, writing studies, educational psychology, and post structuralist philosophy, his scholarship focuses on writing pedagogy and theory. His most recent book (published by Routledge May 2018), Connections Between Neuroscience, Rhetoric, and Writing: A Plastic Pedagogy for the Digital Age, argues that plasticity in contemporary neuroscience compliments, extends, and challenges recent and influential posthuman and new materialist accounts of the relations between rhetoric, affect, and writing pedagogy. He began teaching classes at 国产小呦女 in fall 2006.
