Hi! I’m Raine Porath (he/him), a grad student starting my second year of the MALAS program. I did my undergrad in English & Comparative Literature here at SDSU, and am now researching digital and popular cultures through a disability studies framework. In my downtime, I make comics and read/watch/play everything horror.
I’m lucky to work as Writing Fellow for the ECL Department, which gives me the opportunity to liaison between students and faculty. If you’re interested in sharing your ideas for department events and letting us know what you need to succeed as an ECL student, there’s a new Student Outreach Survey you can complete here!
I’m also working on CAPTION, the new e-lit imprint of SDSU Press. If you’re a digital creative of any medium, I’d love to chat about your work and opportunities for publication or collaboration.
I’m psyched to be learning alongside you all, and I hope we find joy in caring about books, the world, and each other. 🕮
Yay, Raine! Thank you for being here. Every class is elevated by your presence, and I am grateful that you chose mine.
I am always so grateful when I have another MALAS student in my classes! I am a first year MALAS student, and the freedom to choose your coursework without a traditional course map was exciting, but also a little overwhelming. I will definitely be looking to you for advice.
Really nice to meet you, Micaela! Welcome to the MALAS program — I feel the same way about it, and I’m glad to have you in class too!!
