J. W. Hammond is a postdoctoral researcher in the School of Education at the University of Michigan, where he researches and teaches about rhetoric, writing and racial justice. His current scholarship centers on educational assessment history, theory and technology, as well as the ethical, political and rhetorical dimensions of research access and use. A (nearly) lifelong Star Wars nerd, he believes that science fiction shapes our ethical horizons and sense of scientific possibility in ways good and bad, big and small.
