Carlos Seligo


This Fall Carlos Seligo will be an Academic Technology Specialist at Stanford University, but he has been a Post-doctoral Fellow in the Humanities there for the past three years. During this time he collaborated with faculty to design and implement Word and the World, a web-mediated Freshman survey course, which was discussed in the New York Times and the Washington Post.

 

His scholarly interests concern the application of natural metaphors to reproductive and digital technologies and in his dissertation he read Frankenstein as an extrapolation of 18th century theories about botanical monsters. Excerpts from this work, the website of his photography and graphics company, Eyetooth Design, and the Bladerunner site of W&W can all be viewed on the web at
