Academic background
I hold a Ph.D. in Communication from Louisiana State University and an M.A. and B.S. from Florida State University. At Dartmouth, I taught public speaking and directed the speech program. I joined Virginia Tech in 2005 and later advanced to full professor, focusing on rhetoric and political communication.
I have authored or edited 17 books. My scholarship explores public communication, rhetorical criticism, media framing, political communication, Human + AI Communication, and how news media shape public understanding of important issues.
