Associate Professor
David Fleming, associate professor of English, is also director of the University Writing Program. He joined the UMass faculty in the Fall of 2006. Prior to that, he was assistant and then associate professor of English at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (1998-2006), where he also directed the Intermediate and Freshman Composition programs. From 1996-1998, he was assistant professor of English at New Mexico State University. He holds the A.B. in English from Davidson College (1983), the M.A. in English from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (1989), and the PhD in Rhetoric from Carnegie Mellon University (1996).
Fleming's research spans the field of composition and rhetoric, though he has a special interest in the role of rhetorical education in multicultural democracies. He has published articles and chapters on the history of rhetoric, argumentation theory and practice, writing in the disciplines and professions, and the history and pedagogy of first-year composition. His book City of Rhetoric: Reviving the Public Sphere in Metropolitan America is forthcoming from SUNY Press; another, On the Hinge of History: Freshman Composition at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, 1967-1970 , is under review at Southern Illinois University Press. He is currently at work on a third book, about rhetorical education: past, present, and future.
