PhD, Kent State University
Chad Wickman received his PhD in rhetoric and composition from Kent State University with a specialization in literacy, rhetoric, and social practice. He teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in writing and rhetorical theory, and his research has appeared in a range of scholarly venues, including Written Communication, Rhetoric Review, Technical Communication Quarterly, The Journal of Business and Technical Communication, and Environmental Communication. Wickman is currently at work on a project that explores how technical craft, and discourse about technique, assists in the formation of new disciplines and serves as a possible bridge between expert and non-expert communities. Beyond research and teaching, he is actively involved in writing program development and serves as editor of the international research journal Written Communication.
