Just as my research takes on complex rhetorics in a variety of contexts, my teaching engages students in the rich complexity of rhetorical interaction. Each facet of my teaching is designed to foster student engagement (with themselves, each other, and the world at large), to promote quality work by expecting the best work from each student, and to endorse rhetoric as vital to public and private life. The most fruitful way I have developed to encourage these kinds of engagements is to task students with dynamic, collaborative rhetorical production.
