Summary
Chris Mays teaches rhetoric and w88 sports betting. His current research explores the implications of complexity and systems theory in various contexts within rhetoric and w88 sports betting studies.
Specifically, he is interested in how w88 sports betting functions in complex and dynamic environments and also in the phenomenon of interlocutors holding certain beliefs in spite of seemingly overwhelming counter-evidence - commonly referred to as the phenomenon of "stubbornness."
Following these interests, his current projects highlight connections between w88 sports betting studies and systems theory, between Kenneth Burke and posthumanism(s), and between stability and change in public discourse.
