I am interested in religious rhetoric in a broad sense. More specifically, I study the ideas of historic "peace churches" such as Mennonites and The Society of Friends (Quakers). I also study religious intentionalism both within the peace church context and the larger American context.

Research Interests:
I am interested in trauma rhetoric specifically concerning the traumatic events of 9/11 and the covid-19 pandemic. My research focuses on the nuanced variations between a collective trauma versus personal and how the field of rhetoric can help with narrative therapy in healing after such events. The goal I have is to help communities and the FYC classroom better understand and heal from specific traumatic events.
