I am<\/em>\u00a0currently an Assistant Professory in the Department of Communication Studies at Furman University in Greenville, South Carolina. I have a Ph.D. from Indiana University in Rhetorical Studies with a minor in American Studies. My book<\/i>,\u00a0Romancing the Difference: Kenneth Burke, Bob Jones University, and the Rhetoric of Religious Fundamentalism,<\/a>\u00a0is a scholarly attempt to stretch the boundaries of both Kenneth Burke\u2019s rhetorical theory on tragedy and comedy as well as stretch conservative evangelical\u2019s separatist frames.\u00a0The story of that publication is available at\u00a0<\/i>The KB Journal<\/i><\/a>.
