Alexander Slotkin
Alexander Slotkin is an Assistant Professor of Rhetoric and Composition and teaches courses in composition, rhetoric, and technical and professional communication. He received his PhD in English from the University of Florida (2024) and holds an MA in English from Northeastern University (2019). Dr. Slotkin's research focuses on Jewish rhetorics and nonwestern methodologies as they apply to ongoing conversations in writing studies, cultural rhetorics, technical and professional communication, multimodal rhetorics, and public memory. His dissertation (and soon-to-be book), Waking the Jinn: Cultural Memories, Writings, and Assemblages, explores how tombstones in an Iraqi Jewish cemetery circulate memories by borrowing, repurposing, and transforming textual materials. Other ongoing projects include a co-edited book manuscript on the theory and practice of refusing to translate cultural knowledge into dominant languages, forms, and codes, as well as a chapter in the tentatively titled Routledge Handbook on Technical and Professional Communication. Dr. Slotkin's work has appeared in several academic journals, including Rhetoric Review, Journal of Multimodal Rhetorics, Communication Design Quarterly, Constellations, and ImageTexT.
