Contributor Bio:  Williams, Glen Glen Williams graduated in 1993 with a Ph. D. in rhetoric and public address from Indiana University. While a doctoral candidate, Williams directed the basic course in Interpersonal Communication at Indiana University (1990-1991). While working on his dissertation, he taught at Southwest Missouri State University (1991-1992) and at Indiana University Southeast (1992-1993). In 1993, he accepted a position at Texas A&M University as visiting assistant professor and director of the basic course in public speaking. He served in that capacity until 1997, when he accepted a tenure track position at the University of Akron as director of the basic courses in the School of Communication. While he enjoyed Akron, Williams took a position the following year at Southeast Missouri State University, finding it more compatible with his interests. At Southeast, he oversees the basic course in public speaking and has a joint appointment in the School of Education. He teaches courses in communication pedagogy, persuasion, public address, rhetorical criticism, and public speaking. Williams's research interests center upon communication education, particularly leadership in the basic course and instructor training and development, and his work has been published in various volumes of the "Basic Communication Course Annual." In addition, his projects in rhetorical criticism appear in "The Southern Communication Journal" and the "Quarterly Journal of Speech."
