Research
"Just the place for a Snark!" the Bellman cried,
As he landed his crew with care;"
Lewis Carroll

Briefly, Prof. Dubiel's research agenda is informed by his liberal arts background, diverse interests, and varied professional career. "Rhetorical criticism" might best summarize his general direction.  Ethical issues constitute a common thread in much of his work. He was an executive board member of the Communication Ethics Commission of the National Communication Association from 1997-2001.

Two samples of his work are listed below.
