Welcome to my Homepage. I am a rhetorical scholar and focus on political communication in the Communication Department and for the Jacoby Center, and I teach the first year Pacific Seminar regularly. My areas of scholarly interest include: rhetorical theory and criticism, especially narrative theory; ethics, rhetoric of economics, ideology, and public deliberation; and recuperating classical rhetorical ideas to contemporary theories of rhetoric. In the history of rhetoric, my interests include: Classical rhetoric, especially Aristotle; Renaissance and Enlightenment theories of rhetoric; and twentieth century rhetorics, including postmodernism. I studied Rhetorical and Cultural Studies at the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Southern California (Ph.D. 2005) and started at the University of the Pacific in Fall 2007. See my curriculum vitae below. 2006 National Communication Association's Gerald R. Miller Outstanding Dissertation Award. 2006 American Society for the History of Rhetoric's Dissertation Award. |
