Teaching Experience (number of semesters taught in parentheses)

University of South Alabama (Fall 2007-Spring 2013)

CA 110: Public Speaking (1): This course is designed to help students develop public speaking, critical listening and evaluation skills. Students will explore the key components of public speaking, including speaker, audience, message, and occasion. Through readings, assignments, lecture, discussion and classroom speaking-listening situations, students will have the opportunity to increase their understanding of, and skill in, public presentations and critical message analysis.

CA 310: Persuasion (6): This course provides an overview of persuasion theory, considering social scientific and rhetorical perspectives. This course touches on propaganda, advertising, and other persuasive texts to gain a greater understanding of how we persuade and are persuaded.

CA 315: Gender and Communication (5): Survey of research and theory concerning the differences in communication between men and women and the effects and functions of communication between men and women.

CA 330: Intercultural Communication (1): This course provides an overview of various theories of intercultural communication. Students will learn to apply theories of intercultural communication to their own lives. This course is writing intensive.

CA 352: Media Literacy in the Information Age (1): This course considers how mediated environments influence our perceptions. Students will learn to evaluate and create mediated messages.

CA 360: Communication and the Internet (1): This course explores how the medium of the Internet influences how messages are created and received and examines such issues as the digital divide, interface design, and media literacy. Students will also consider the broader implications of living in an information society for both society and individuals. This course also includes instruction on elements of basic web design so students can learn to create effective online messages.

CA 390: Special Topics: The Rhetoric of Social Movements (1): This course explores the role of social movements in a democratic society by examining rhetorical and sociological theories of social movements and collective action. Areas of inquiry will include historical and contemporary case studies of social movements; the interactions between social movements, institutions and organizations, and the state; social movements as agents of change; and the role of national and transnational social movements in the public sphere.

CA 410: Persuasion in Context: Uncivil Discourse (1): This course deals explicitly with rhetorical strategies that generally fall outside of the province of rational critical discourse. Topics discussed will include hate speech, violence, body rhetoric, and terrorism.

CA 410/509: Advanced Persuasion: The Rhetoric of Religion (2): This course examines the idea of religion as an overarching concept, with special attention to the rhetorical aspects of religion.

CA 422/522: Rhetorical Theory (6): This course presents a broad survey of the Western rhetorical tradition, beginning with the pre-Socratics and concluding with contemporary rhetorical theory. Some of the questions that students will consider in the course include: What is rhetoric? What is rhetorical theory? What can we learn from the Ancients? Can we observe these theories in our world today? How does rhetoric apply to me?

CA 424/524: Rhetorical Criticism (6): This course provides an overview of rhetorical criticism. Rhetorical criticism is the art of providing judgments on rhetorical artifacts such as speeches, film, literature, music, or art. In this course, students will learn to apply rhetorical theory in critiquing rhetorical artifacts and construct and evaluate rhetorical criticism.

CA 445: Ethics and Social Responsibility in Communication (2): This course provides an overview of ethical thought, applying this to the field of communication broadly. Students will also be introduced to professional codes of ethics for various professions within communication. Because this course is writing intensive and serves as the capstone course, students will write a research paper examining ethics within their subfield of communication.

CA 522: Rhetorical Theory: Public Memory (1): This course explores rhetorical theory as it relates to public memory. Despite the fact that most historians seem to agree that there is no complete, unified, unchallenged account of historical events, we sometimes forget that how we make sense of these competing accounts of history is the realm of rhetoric. We use the past as a way to justify or otherwise account for our present and to point toward a particular conception of the future. This course examines those processes.

CA 522: Rhetorical Theory: The Rhetoric of Identity (1): This course examines the rhetorical construction of identity and covers such issues as gender and sexuality, religion, culture, and media influences on identity.

CA 561: Special Topics: Teaching and Professionalism (3): This course explores the practice of teaching and learning. One primary goal of this course is to help students make the transition from student to future colleague; as such, there will also be a heavy emphasis on professionalization into the discipline.

CA 590: Special Topics: Propaganda (1): This course explores the theory and practice of propaganda, focusing on both historical and contemporary artifacts, institutions, and practices of propaganda.

The Pennsylvania State University (Fall 2002 - Spring 2007)
