Teaching

I seek to impress upon my students the power of communication research to address and resolve the major challenges facing the twenty-first century.  I also hope to inspire them to think critically about their own communication habits and to deepen their understanding of the the fundamental connection between the study of rhetoric, public address, and democracy.
