DISSERTATION
"Chronologies of Character: Rhetoric, Time, and Ethos"
Chair: Dana Anderson
Committee: John Schilb, Freya Thimsen, and Justin Hodgson
"Chronologies of Character" argues that both rhetoric and theories of ethos can gain complexity by understanding how non-kairotic conceptions of time—such as intervals and sequences—impact rhetorical ecologies. Through the analysis of cultural texts and digital media, I develop a theory of "cumulative ethos" that reveals how character accumulates rhetorical force over time.
