My teaching and research revolve around the study of rhetoric and the art of persuasion. I believe rhetorical theory and history offers numerous tools to better understand effective communication throughout everyday life, as well as for the study of history, culture, and politics. In my research, I often analyze social movement campaigns, public memory, and debates over war and peace, evident in my book, The Peace Script: Framing Violence in U. S. Anti-War Dissent published in the University of Alabama Press series on "Rhetoric, Culture, & Social Critique" (available here: https://www.uapress.ua.edu/9780817362188/the-peace-script/).
My teaching ranges from Argumentation & Debate to Philosophy of Human Communication to Environmental Communication (starting Spring 2027).
