My name is Josef Nguyen, and I am a third-year English Ph.D student at U.C. Davis. In addition to books, I also really like science.
I am a graduate of the University of the Pacific, in Stockton, California. I received a B.S. in Computer Science and a B.A.English in 2007. I then attended U.C. Irvine, receiving an M.S. in Arts Computation Engineering (A.C.E.) in 2009.
My main academic interests include but are not limited to:
- technoscientific governance, policy, and administration
- speculative, promissory, and other futuristic discourses
- municipal and global infrastructures
- theories of expertise
- design
- ethics and politics of classification and categorization, especially genre
- ecocriticism
- posthumanism
- intersections of epistemology and ethics
- accidents, disasters, and crises
