Link to Vitae

Greg Clark has taught at BYU since 1985. During that time he has taught courses in American literature, writing, and rhetoric. He has directed the English Composition and American Studies programs, has chaired the English Department, and now serves as an Associate Dean of the College of Humanities.

Professor Clark has published a number of books and shorter pieces on rhetoric and rhetorical studies of American culture, and has served as editor of the journal Rhetoric Society Quarterly. He now serves as executive director of the Rhetoric Society of America.

As a teacher he relies on class discussion of issues raised by the subject matter and asks students to use each course to develop their own insights and resolutions of those issues.

He lives with his wife, Linda, and their two dogs in the house his parents built east of campus. Their three daughters are married and are beginning to produce grandchildren.
