Welcome!

As a human person, I want to make a better world so that every human person can get a fair shot at a good life.

​

As a teacher, I occupy a space in writing studies generally between rhetorical theory and history, professional and technical writing, and first-year composition.

​

In each of my classes, I seek to provide students skills, concepts, and techniques to use for their own of reflective self-development as writers, producers, and makers; critical judgement as readers, consumers, and players; and ethical awareness of themselves and others as humans, persons, and fellow citizens.

​

As a scholar of rhetorical theory, I am deeply concerned with questions of violence, justice, and power. My works attempt to complicate the assumptions and commonplaces around many of the internal aspects of the field of writing studies, writ large, both critiquing the oppressive and destructive inheritances of Western Enlightenment thought and inventing new and different approaches that can address these inadequacies. Specifically, I examine this in argumentation, pedagogy, and cultural practices.
