Derek G. Ross

Hargis Professor of Writing Studies, Auburn University Department of English

I'm the Hargis Professor of Writing Studies in Auburn University's Master of Technical and Professional Communication Program in the Department of English, co-editor of SUNY’s Studies in Technical Communication series, and co-director of Auburn's Lab for Usability, Communication, Interaction, and Accessibility (LUCIA).

My research interests include document design, ethics, environmental rhetoric, radical communication, and organizational culture. My edited collection, Topic-Driven Environmental Rhetoric (2017), is available from Routledge Taylor & Francis Group, and Amazon.

I celebrate difference, recognizing that the respectful exchange of ideas in the spirit of academic inquiry supports and bolsters our shared human connections.
