He teaches first-year writing, sophomore literature, and several upper division writing courses. His teaching interests include digital writing and new media, writing and social justice, rhetorical history, and rhetorical and critical theory. His research is situated at the intersection of rhetorical, critical, and political theory and investigates the dynamics of power and individual agency in the context of globalization and neoliberalism. In particular, his work charts the means by which neoliberal policies have greatly hindered the contemporary project of dissent and how this hindrance is being negotiated by contemporary dissent movements. Recent projects include an investigation of the work of Alain Badiou and its relevance for human rights rhetoric and a study of swarming as a tactic of collective dissent.
