Overview

Stephen J. Fonash is affiliated with Pennsylvania State University in the United States. Their research spans multiple disciplines, including Computer Science, Arts and Humanities, and Social Sciences. Within these areas, Fonash has contributed to the subfields of Information Systems, Literature and Literary Theory, and Sociology and Political Science.

Their work primarily focuses on topics related to digital literacy in education, literacy, media, and education, as well as the impact of technology on adolescents. These topics have been reflected in their scholarly output and collaborative research efforts.

Fonash has published in the journal Technical Communication Quarterly, contributing at least one paper to this venue. A notable recent publication is:

  • Beyond Digital Literacy: Investigating Threshold Concepts to Foster Engagement with Digital Life in Technical Communication Pedagogy (2024), published in Technical Communication Quarterly

Throughout their career, Fonash has collaborated with several frequent co-authors, including:

  • Danielle Mollie Stambler
  • Nupoor Ranade
  • Daniel L. Hocutt
  • Jessica Lynn Campbell
  • Ann Hill Duin

This network of collaborators is linked to the interdisciplinary nature of their research, bridging technical communication, education, and social aspects of digital literacy.

Fonash does not appear to have published any books, and there is no record of awards linked to their contributions as of now.

Their research addresses the ways digital literacy can be understood and fostered within educational contexts to promote engagement with digital life, highlighting threshold concepts that influence how individuals interact with digital technologies.
