Douglas has been researching and writing on
hypertext for more than seven years, focusing on the applicability of
literary theory, narratology and aesthetics to hypertext environments.
Much of her work examines hypertext reading as a form of
performance, the effect of hypertext's displacement of closure on the act
of reading and how hypertexts can be designed to satisfy both conventional
and highly unconventional narrative reading strategies. As a Research
Fellow at the Brunel University (London) Centre for Research into
Innovation, Culture and Technology, she spent a year researching the uses
of hypertext and the social construction of digital technologies.
Formerly Director of the Program in Professional Writing
at Lehman College, The City University of new York, she is now Director of
the Center for Written and Oral Communication at the University of
Florida, where she is also an Assistant Professor of English. Her critical
work on hypertext has appeared in journals and collections in the US, UK
and Australia.
Her short story, "I
Have Said Nothing", appears in the Eastgate Quarterly Review of
Hypertext 1(2).
