About

Chris Dean teaches Writing 1, Writing 2, Writing in Community (105CW), Rhetoric and Writing (105R), Multimedia Writing (105M), and Writing for the Teaching Professions (109ED).

Chris Dean's research interests range from contingent faculty issues to how to help writing students engage in critical thinking through research into urban legends, conspiracy theories, and hoaxes. Also, he sees precious little distinction between his research and teaching, which, if you know him, makes a lot of sense.
