Alexander Slotkin (He/Him) is a PhD candidate in English studying rhetoric and writing. His dissertation explores how situating assemblage as a key writing concept in overlooked cultural matrices (specifically Iraqi Jewish cemeteries) extends our understanding of that term, as well as writing more generally. While he is writing his dissertation, Alexander is also co-editing a book manuscript on the theory and practice of refusing to translate or transpose cultural knowledge into dominant languages, forms, and codes. You can find his work in academic journals, including Rhetoric Review, Journal of Multimodal Rhetorics, Communication Design Quarterly, and Constellations. You can also find his work elsewhere, such as in the proceedings from the 39th ACM International Conference on the Design of Communication (SIGDOC ’21).
