Brief Bio

Eric Dean Rasmussen is Researcher in Digital Culture at the University of Bergen (UiB), where he is the editor of the ELMCIP Knowledge Base. He also serves as senior editor and researcher for one of the Web's longest-running, open-access critical journals, ebr: Electronic Book Review.

Before returning to UiB, where Rasmussen taught as a visiting førsteamanuensis in Humanistic Informatics, he taught British and American literature and cultural studies at Nørd-Trondelag University College in Norway, where he was an associate professor in English.

His interests include aesthetics and ideology in 20th and 21st-century literature and the impact of new media technologies on the literary arts and the (digital) humanities. Aside from his work on the ELMCIP project, Rasmussen is currently co-editing, with Rone Shavers, a casebook about Lynne Tillman and writing a study of affect and materiality in contemporary network fiction.
