Academic Appointments
Before coming to Indiana University in 1993, I taught at Texas A&M University (1986-1993), Washington State University (1975-1986), Idaho State University (1974-1975), and Gonzaga University (1972-1974).  

I served as Interim Director of American Studies at Indiana University in 2010, Department Chair of Communication and Culture at Indiana University 1993-2003, and Department Head of Speech Communication and Theatre Arts at Texas A&M University 1990-93. 

Research and Teaching
My research focuses on rhetoric as a mode of political critique and a theory of cultural production, especially in the context of U.S. public culture, with particular emphasis on democracy and its relationship to the problem of war.  

See my publications page for a list of books, articles, and chapters.

I teach courses on war propaganda, political communication, democratic dissent, and rhetorical theory and critique.  See my courses page for more information.

Editorial Service
I have served as editor of Communication and Critical/Cultural Studies (2004-2006), Quarterly Journal of Speech (1993-1995), and Western Journal of Communication (1985-1987).  

I am a member of the editorial boards of Rhetoric & Public Affairs, Communication and Critical/Cultural Studies, Presidential Studies Quarterly, Javnost—The Public, Review of Communication, Controversia, KB Journal, and the “Rhetoric and Public Affairs” book series for Michigan State University Press.
