Research

Jeremiah Dyehouse’s research focuses on theories of rhetoric and public writing, with a special emphasis on the contemporary implications of 20th century American Pragmatist philosophy. His in-progress book, “Materials Become Media: John Dewey and Public Writing (1886-1927)” recovers the significance to public writing theory of Dewey’s experiments in public writing inquiry in the first half of his career. Offering a new view of Dewey as a literacy theorist, this account retrieves the materialist lessons in community engagement, privacy, media, and ethics that Dewey’s works offer to contemporary inquirers.
