Profile

Chris Warnick received his Ph.D. in English, with a concentration in Composition, Literacy, Pedagogy, and Rhetoric, from the University of Pittsburgh in 2006. His teaching and research interests include undergraduate student writing, public literacy, and the history and theory of the essay. He is currently at work on a research project that examines how works by countercultural writers and artists, such as Black Panther leader Eldridge Cleaver and rapper Tupac Shakur, are used in the teaching of composition and rhetoric.
