Hello! My name is Alexander Slotkin (he/him). I’m an Assistant Professor of Rhetoric and Composition in the Department of English and an affiliate faculty member for the Jewish Studies program at Florida Atlantic University. My research interests include cultural rhetorics, Jewish rhetorics, technical communication, multimodal rhetorics, community literacies, public memory, and non-Western methods/ologies. What connects my different research interests is a focus on exploring how writing facilitates community by invoking insider and outsider groups in the process of creating, safe-housing, and circulating cultural knowledge.

My (now defended) dissertation explores how situating assemblage as a key writing concept in overlooked cultural matrices (i.e., Iraqi Jewish cemeteries) extends our understanding of that term and writing more generally. If you’d like to connect with me or learn more about me, please feel free to email me at aslotkin@fau.edu.
