Hi, my name is Christian Nelson. I have a Ph.D. in communication from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (USA), where I undertook course work in communication theory and philosophy, interpersonal communication, language and social interaction (particulary ethnomethodology and conversation analysis), research methods, and rhetoric/social influence. I was an assistant professor in the communication departments of Purdue University (1991-1997) and the University of Massachusetts (1997-2004). I also taught in Emerson College's Department of Marketing and Health Communication as a Scholar-in-Residence (ie., visiting assitant professor) in the 2004-2005 school year, and was an adjunct instructor at the University of Hartford for Fall, 2005. Currently, I am completing an associates degree in multimedia technology (mostly multimedia design, together with some computer and programming), which should be complete by May, 2006.
