Studying Rhetoric, Composition, and Professional Communication, my long-term goal is to obtain a tenured position in English at a leading research university.

My specialization is in Visual Rhetoric, the persuasive power of design and imagery, where my current focus is on propaganda, organized protest, and the language of revolution.

Persuasion is powerful. It is also a hell of a lot of fun. As a volunteer broadcaster on community radio, a graduate student teaching a class on public address, or another voice in dialogue on Twitter, I enjoy my work with rhetoric.
