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. 🕮
