Doyle Srader, Ph.D.

Associate Professor, Speech and Communication / Faculty Athletic Representative
Phone: 541-684-7216
Office: PFB 225

Professor Srader studies rhetoric and argumentation. Specifically, he studies intra-professional argumentation. Professionals, such as doctors and lawyers and clergy, have an imagined profile of the ideal persona that people in their profession should embrace, and over time they defend or modify or renew it by arguing about best practices. Srader studies those arguments for clues about those ideal professional personae.

Srader typically teaches any communication class that needs to be taught, but gets the biggest kick out of teaching public speaking. In his career he's taught more than one hundred sections of it to over two thousand students. He also enjoys teaching everything from interpersonal communication to public relations to communication theory.

In his free time, Srader enjoys reading, baking cookies, modular origami and hunting for the perfect sushi restaurant. He attends Fairfield Baptist Church and lives in Eugene, close enough to Autzen Stadium to hear the road of the crowd.
