Jaishree Odin

Jaishree Odin has written extensively on technology mediated narrative forms as well as the role of technology in re-visioning higher education. Some of her published articles on electronic literature have dealt with the potential of the electronic media in depicting minority experience in multiple ways. Her current book-length project, Through the Looking Glass: Technology, Nomadology and Postmodern Narrative, is a critical exploration of shattered visual metaphors in contemporary literature which includes electronic literary forms. She is also the author of To the Other Shore: Lalla's Life and Poetry (Vitasta Pub, 1999).
Odin teaches interdisciplinary literature, science and technology courses at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. She also directs a major online distance-learning project at the university that was funded recently by the Sloan Foundation to increase access to higher education in the state of Hawaii.


This speaker will be part of the Accessibility and Diversity panel.
