Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Joel Lansing Reed's research investigates the rhetorical strategies employed in political discourse and their impact on public perception and identity. His work examines how language and media shape understanding of political events, candidates, and social movements. Reed has published on the persuasive effects of multimedia political communication, including comedy and advertising, and the rhetoric of democracy in U.S. Senate campaign debates. He also analyzes the role of rhetoric in responding to societal challenges, such as terrorism and political corruption, and explores themes of identity, community resilience, and duty within political contexts. His scholarship extends to critical discourse analysis of topics like neurodiversity in the workforce and the intersection of religion and political discourse, as seen in his work on Amy Coney Barrett and originalism.
