Expertise

I have been particularly interested in African American public address, in part because circumstances often demand that marginalized rhetors be especially inventive as they address the limitations and exclusions that bar access to full citizenship.

In addition, beginning in graduate school and extending to the present, I have had an abiding interest in the rhetorical analysis of film.
