Chris Ingraham

Chris Ingraham is an Associate Professor in the Department of Communication at the University of Utah, as well as a core faculty member in Environmental Humanities. His research spans the fields of media aesthetics, environmental humanities, affect theory, and rhetorical theory, drawing on their insights to think about the material, aesthetic, and affective practices that configure the environments we create and inhabit.

Before becoming an academic, he worked for several years as a freelance writer. Though the arts remain central to his interests, academic training across the humanities has drawn him him to cross-disciplinary thinking in the belief that we should bring all available knowledge to the problems we're trying to understand.
