Her work centers on digital rhetoric and the hybrid texts it engenders and her current research endeavor, the Video Analysis Tableau (VAT), applies the power of supercomputing to the indexing and analysis of vast video archives. Kuhn directs the Honors in Multimedia Scholarship program, a graduate certificate in Digital Media and Culture and teaches a variety of graduate and undergraduate classes in new media, all of which marry theory and practice. In 2005 she successfully defended one of the first born-digital dissertations in the United States, titled Ways of Composing: Visual Literacy in the Digital Age , which challenged archiving and copyright conventions. Her work can be found in a variety of print and digital journals and serves on the editorial boards of several journals.
