Welcome to Don Gammill’s digital space. I work as a Part-Time Instructor of English Rhetoric & Composition at Georgia State University’s Downtown Atlanta campus where I presently teach Composition I & II, Business Writing, Editing for Publication, and Introduction to Rhetoric & Composition. In the past, I’ve taught developmental writing and literature-based courses, as well.
My research explores the part that religious rhetoric plays in public morality, and it also investigates teaching strategies and practices that connect the everyday experiences of students to their rhetorical and linguistic environments—both physical and digital—via two specific pedagogical practices: primary source inquiry and revision/editing. Here, you can learn more about my pedagogy and the courses I teach, my scholarship and research interests, the ways I serve current and former students, and my professional background. |
As soon as communication tries to influence one or more persons, to orient their thinking, to excite or calm their emotions, to guide their actions, it belongs to the realm of rhetoric.” |
