Bio

Kaden C. Milliren is an Assistant Professor of Rhetoric and Composition at the University of South Florida. His research interests include neurorhetoric, affect theory, embodiment, and rhetoric of health and medicine (RHM). His research explores how technology and environments mediate and transform bodies. His dissertation Predictive Bodies, for which he was awarded the Patricia Sullivan Dissertation Scholarship, examines embodied mediation in clinical and healthcare contexts, involving such varied medical technologies as neurofeedback, ocular tracking devices, and machine learning-powered haptic prosthetics. He has forthcoming publications in the edited collection Rhetoric After Identification (University of South Carolina Press) and the RHM Handbook (Routledge), the latter of which analyzes and discusses the affordances, ethics, and consequences of the continued integration of artificial intelligence into clinical spaces.
Kaden received several pedagogical awards during his time in graduate school at Purdue University. He has primarily taught technical and professional writing courses including business writing, multimedia writing, writing with generative artificial intelligence, and writing in the health and human sciences. He has also taught first-year composition and entrepreneurial writing.
Outside of academia Kaden enjoys cooking, hiking, swimming, basketball, and making hot sauce. Originally from the Pacific Northwest, he won a Washington State free throw shooting competition when he was 9 years old. He maintains around 90 percent accuracy from that spot on the hardwood.
