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 spans cultural rhetorics, Jewish rhetorics, writing studies, technical communication, multimodal rhetorics, community literacies, and public memory.

What connects my different research interests is a focus on exploring how writing and rhetoric facilitate community by invoking insider and outsider groups in the process of creating and circulating cultural knowledge. My work frequently draws on non-Western methodological approaches to examine questions of belonging, memory, and identity formation.

If you’d like to connect, please feel free to email me at aslotkin@fau.edu.
