Brad's interests include the history of rhetoric, composition pedagogy, writing technologies, and modern rhetorical theories. His dissertation, Teaching Against Tradition: Historical Preludes to Critical Pedagogy, argues that critical teaching and its aims, while assumed to have originated in the 1960s, were anticipated generations before, in both the pedagogical practices of eighteenth-century English dissenting academies and Scottish Enlightenment universities, as well as the teaching practices of I.A. Richards.

Brad has taught first-year composition and Technical Writing, and he is currently teaching the latter in Web-based format.
