Elizabeth Losh
Elizabeth Losh is the Writing Director of the Humanities Core Course at U.C. Irvine and teaches courses about digital rhetoric. She writes about institutions as digital content-creators, the discourses of the "virtual state,” the media literacy of policy makers and authority figures, and the rhetoric surrounded regulatory attempts to limit everyday digital practices. Her first book, Virtualpolitik: An Electronic History of Government Media-Making in a Time of War, Scandal, Disaster, Miscommunication, and Mistakes, will be coming out from MIT Press in 2009. Her daily online column by the same name won the John Lovas Award for best academic weblog in 2007, and she is a regular contributor to Siva Vaidhyanathan's weblog about free culture and intellectual property Sivacracy and to the international blog about social advertising and non-profit campaigns Osocio. She has published articles about videogames for the military and emergency first-responders, government websites, national digital libraries, political blogging, congressional hearings on the Internet, and state-funded online learning efforts.
