Biography
Lorraine Kisselburgh joined the Department of Communication as an Assistant Professor after receiving her Ph.D. in 2008. She began her career in computer science and information technology, and directed the development and use of technologies and applications in higher education. She also holds an M.S. from Purdue University, and an A.B. from the University of Southern California.
Lorraine's research interests include the social implications of emerging technologies; privacy and digital identity; social networking; and the intersections of technology, organizations, and difference. Her current research projects include: a) social network analyses of the social structure of privacy in online communities; b) cross-cultural and gendered constructions of science, technology, and engineering work and careers; c) collaboration in games-based learning environments; and d) the assessment and development of health communities of practice. She is also currently developing an ethnography of cyborgian identity.
She has published in Communication Yearbook, Management Communication Quarterly, Communication Studies, the Journal of Motor Behavior,and Acta Psychologica.
