Research Interests
Her work is dedicated to the material and pedagogical implications of digital rhetoric and multimodal practices. To these ends, Arola researches the ways that various modes of communication come together in digital forms in order to make meaning and to encourage particular understandings of who we are and what agency we have in the world. She is currently working on a co-edited collection with Anne Frances Wysocki called Composing (Media) = Composing (Embodiment). This collection aims to interrogate alternate ways and media for composing—growing out of or beyond the standard academic alphabetic page—and the possibilities such compositions have for identity formations. Arola also explores the connections between design and identity, with a particular focus on mixed-blood Native Americans, in Web 2.0 spaces, particularly social-networking sites.
