Key aspects of activity

• Susan C. Herring is Professor of Information Science and Linguistics and Director of the Center for Computer-Mediated Communication (CMC) at Indiana University, Bloomington.
• Trained in linguistics at the University of California, Berkeley, she was among the first scholars to apply linguistic methods of analysis to CMC, initially with a focus on gender issues. Subsequently, she consolidated those methods into the Computer-Mediated Discourse Analysis approach, which she has used to analyze structural, pragmatic, interactional, and social phenomena in technology-mediated communication. Her recent interests include multilingual and graphical CMC. She is a past editor of the Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication and currently edits Language@Internet.
