I’m a professor of writing and rhetoric at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, specializing in applied rhetoric, humor, feminism, education, and dating dynamics. I hold a Ph.D. in rhetoric and discourse studies from Case Western Reserve University and a satire writing certificate from Second City Chicago. My work has been published in McSweeney’s, Ms. Magazine, HuffPost, and others and covered by major media outlets such as The New York Times and Newsweek.
Hidden just beneath the words we read, hear, and speak, there is another layer of meaning that is richer, more consequential, and more revealing than what you see on the surface. Using tricks and tactics from applied rhetoric, you can unlock this layer, de-code its offerings, and approach people and life with a deeper and more powerful level of understanding and agency. I can teach you how.
