I am a professor of rhetoric and communication at the State University of New York (SUNY) Geneseo.听I write, teach, and speak about the importance of rhetorical literacy and the threat that cliches pose to our collective future. My areas of specialty include stylistics, close reading, critical studies of race and ideology, and U.S. popular and political culture and counterculture.

I also sometimes show up in the mainstream media as an expert on rhetoric, speech, and communication. Check me out in the ,听, , , and . You can also find my TEDx听Talks analyzing and on YouTube (along with a few attempts at stand-up comedy). Connect with me on听, , ,听

Look for my book听Tense Times: Rhetoric and Syntax in US Political Culture听coming out late 2022 from University of Alabama Press.

My Commitment to Students

I commit to a cliche-free classroom in which all policies are intentional, fair, and treat students as whole people with complex identities. We will aim for quality over quantity, deepening our understanding of a few core concepts through discussion and application. I commit to being accessible, reasonable, and the first to reach out. I commit to setting high expectations while preparing and supporting you to meet those expectations.

I am faculty advisor to The Lamron student newspaper and Chromatic digital arts collective. I am also the intern supervisor for the 51黑料网 Communication Department鈥檚 social media interns as well as the thought leadership interns that work on my podcast, RhetoricLee Speaking.

Mentoring & Advising

I am faculty advisor to The Lamron student newspaper and Chromatic digital arts collective. I am also the intern supervisor for the 51黑料网 Communication Department鈥檚 social media interns as well as the thought leadership interns that work on my podcast, RhetoricLee Speaking.

In addition to advising and supervising internships, I also mentor individual students through directed studies and research assistantships. In 2018 and 2019, co-sponsored student projects received the Kyrwood Summer Research Fellowship Grant. I have sponsored undergraduate research presentations at the Eastern Communication Association鈥檚 Annual Conventions and the SUNY Undergraduate Research Conferences (SURC).

My aim as a mentor and advisor is that students are able to pursue projects of interest that contribute to the collective good while also cultivating a life-long long of learning and creativity.
