Julia Deems,
Research Associate

Julia Deems, a Ph.D. student in rhetoric at Carnegie Mellon, is interested in how computer tools can support inquiry in real-world problem solving. She is the designer of Rivaling About Risk: A Dialogue Tutorial. This interactive HyperCard program uses video, writing, reflection, and teen-authored texts to teach critical thinking and rival hypothesis strategies and to give voice to teen perspectives on issues of urban risk. She is the co-author with Linda Flower of “Conflict in Community Collaboration,” to appear in Perspectives on Rhetorical Invention (Eds, Atwill and Lauer, Univ. of Tennessee Press).
