INTRODUCTION
Bryant Keith Alexander, Ph.D. currently serves as the Associate Dean in the College of Arts and Letters at California State University Los Angeles. His faculty appointment is in
the Department
of Communication Studies.
TEACHING INTERESTS His teaching
interests are in performance studies, pedagogical studies and cultural
studies. His academic background is in Performance Studies,
Instructional Communication, Critical Pedagogy, Interpersonal,
Intercultural, and Public Communication. As a teacher-performer-scholar his
interests are intricately interwoven with my practices.
RESEARCH INTERESTS
His research is grounded in the social and performative
construction of identity as related to issues of race, culture, sex,
sexuality, gender, and nationality. His work uses qualitative,
critical, and performative methodologies including what is constructed
as performative writing, ethnography, interpretive ethnography, and
autoethnography.
