Main research or teaching areas

• Pedagogical rhetoric

I teach at undergraduate and graduate levels, and I supervise PhD students in education and rhetoric. My main research interest concerns the subject Pedagogical rhetoric, which investigates what we do with our spoken words and how the spoken words influence us in pedagogical situations. Pedagogical rhetoric aims at increasing our knowledge of the teacher´s responsibility to support a pedagogical relation. Pedagogical rhetoric considers the ethical dimensions and the emotional aspects of our verbal language.
