About 

Curtis Chamblee joined the Communication and Film Department at the University of Memphis Fall of 2020. His research examines discourse at the intersection of race in media, popular culture, and health. I also examine discourse with comic book and movie fandoms.  My research uses rhetorical, qualitative, and critical cultural approaches. Curtis is a current member of the National Association of Communication (NCA), Western States Communication Association (WSCA), and Southern States Communication Association. Curtis's outside interests include reading; especially comic books, playing video games and binge-watching shows on Netflix.
