Joseph Vuletich Joseph Vuletich is a PhD student in English, focusing on the rhetoric of science and technology. His research examines how positionality shapes our perceptions of what counts as knowledge and who counts as knowers. At least that’s what he’s telling himself for the moment. He’s also interested in humor, affect, and first-person narrative (even when he writes in the third person;) as technê in the rhetorical sense – techniques for crafting relationships. When he’s not busy playing with words and encouraging students to do likewise, he enjoys walking, hiking, and hanging out at the park with his wife and son.
