His teaching currently focuses on policy development at the doctoral level. Bruner's recent scholarly work focuses on unconscious persuasive forces (Rhetorical Unconsciousness and Political Psychoanalysis, U. of South Carolina Press, 2019) and neo-fascist tendencies in the United States ("The Cynical Manipulation of Universities as Public Forums in the Age of Trump," Communication Law Review, 2018). This work builds upon his earlier books and articles on arts of resistance in politically repressive environments, democratic statecraft, and collective identity construction. His work has won National Communication Association awards for outstanding scholarship in freedom of expression, performance studies, and rhetorical studies…. Professor Bruner has taught with distinction at Louisiana State University, the University of Washington, Babson College, and then at Georgia State University, where he served as Graduate Director.
