His research interests focus on the relationship between representation and reality that, in the humanities, are explored through various theories of rhetoric and discourse. In opposition to the view that an “objective” reality exists independently of the knower, theories of rhetoric emphasize that “truth” is necessarily constructed and distorted by varied, and often conflicting, social interests. 

He contends, however, that existing scholarship on rhetoric, despite its valuable insights, has gone too far in emphasizing these “subjective” aspects of knowledge. Consequently, the humanities have found themselves increasingly unable to contribute in meaningful ways to contemporary public discourse. He therefore seeks to develop new approaches to thinking about rhetoric by drawing upon thinkers and intellectual traditions that have either been overlooked or unfairly sidelined in the humanistic disciplines.
