Methods:
Both quantitative and qualitative depending on the focus of inquiry. I especially enjoy rhetorical criticism and public discourse analysis.

Teaching Style:
I endeavor to create substantive, challenging courses and a classroom environment that fosters student interaction and free expression. I strive to be fair and show genuine respect and concern for my students. I believe that humor in the classroom is essential.
