Additional Information
My teaching interests center on understanding people’s experiences of institutional marginalization. I am interested in the relationship between communication, social differences, and power. I explore these concepts, along with other learners, in courses such as diversity and communication, intercultural communication, and organizational culture and identity.
I view teaching as a profoundly relational activity. This relationship involves attention to processes of self and other awareness, thoughtful listening, cooperation, building and sustaining trust, and open and honest communication to create and maintain a high-quality personal connection to support students’ journey to becoming learners.

Christina Foust, Ph.D.
Professor
Christina R. Foust (Ph.D., University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill) is a Professor of Communication Studies. Foust also serves as the Associate Chair of COMM, is Faculty Co-Fellow of Community Engaged Learning with the C2Hub, and helps lead MSU Denver Dialogues. Foust’s teaching and research engage rhetoric, power, and social change in a variety of contexts, including environmental communication, social movements, pop culture, and everyday talk.
Foust’s recent projects build from the question: How do groups of ordinary people support each other and strive for change, when it seems that the deck is stacked against them in so many ways? Intergroup dialogue, community engaged learning, and rhetorics of social movement, have a lot to teach us as we try to steer away from the proverbial cliff, and toward a shared future.
Foust’s work as a faculty member support her in serving the community. For instance, Foust was the founding Parent Coordinator of the Westerly Creek Elementary School Green Team, where she helped lead the school in earning a Climate Champions Grant from Denver Public Schools, and helped lead the school to earn the prestigious Green Flag award from the National Wildlife Federation eco-schools program. She also writes a semi-regular column for the Front Porch newspaper on practices that address climate change.

John Rief, Ph.D.
Associate Professor
I received a B.A. in Philosophy and Communication from Regis University. I completed M.A. degrees in Communication and Bioethics and a Ph.D. in Communication at the University of Pittsburgh. During my time as a graduate student, I was an assistant coach and then associate director of the William Pitt Debating Union. After the completion of my Ph.D., I was admitted into the RAND-University of Pittsburgh Postdoctoral Scholars Program (funded by Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality). During my postdoctoral studies, I focused on communication practices in online healthcare delivery. After working for several years at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, PA, I moved home to Denver to be closer to family.
I have been teaching at MSU Denver since 2019. I typically teach courses focused on the history and theory of rhetoric, argumentation and debate, and presentational speaking.
In addition to teaching, I run the Gary Holbrook Debating Union & Archive which houses our student debate program: MSU Denver Debate. My role is to foster student learning in the areas of leadership, public and civic advocacy, event planning and implementation, and the promotion of democratic culture. Students who join our debate program have opportunities to participate in intercollegiate debate tournaments, civic debates with public and expert audiences, present-and-defend competitions, and public debates on our campus featuring local, national, and international guests. Recently, we attended a present-and-defend competition at Yosemite National Park and hosted the Irish Debate Series.
Office Hours: Coming Soon | Office Location: KC 460
Additional Information
My research is focused on the rhetoric of health and medicine, the history, theory, and practice of debate, argumentation theory, and classical rhetoric.

Elisa M. Varela, Ph.D.
Assistant Professor
I hail from Los Angeles, California. And I was raised in Aurora, Colorado from the time I was 10 years old. I attended MSU Denver where I earned my Bachelor of Arts degree in Communication Studies with a concentration on organizational communication. In 2012, I pursued graduate education and in particular practice-based research at Colorado State University, where I earned my master’s degree with a concentration on Organizational Communication and Rhetoric in higher education. After completing my M.A. degree, I moved to Boulder to pursue a Ph.D. at the University of Colorado, where I specialized in understanding and intervening into the various interactional dilemmas interlocutors manage to accomplish democratic ideals in dialogue and deliberation.
Office Hours: By appointment Thursday, 12:00-2:00 p.m., via Teams | Office Location: Central Classroom 120L
Additional Information
I have taught and developed courses for various modalities including in-person, synchronous, asynchronous, and hybrid classroom environments. Courses I have taught include Human Communication Theory, Public Speaking, Intercultural Communication, Discourse, Culture, and Identity, Gender and Communication, Multiracial and Decolonial Feminisms, Group Communication, Rhetoric and Popular Culture, and others. Broadly, these courses examined the intersection of communicative lenses, culture, intersectional identities, and how these bear upon interaction in everyday life, organizations, institutions, and the broader socio-cultural milieu. Because my area of specialization is democratic engagement, I center dialogue and other forms of democratic talk as a means of learning and as skills to be learned in my pedagogy.
My research focuses on democratic engagement across difference. Broadly, I draw on social interaction and critical perspectives to dig into questions of discourse, difference, and democracy. In particular, I am interested in how persons in dialogue and deliberation engage in discursive practices that support and limit quality communication across difference and ultimately democratic action. Often times, well-meaning people perpetuate prejudice and polarization, and the practical aim of my research is to support responsible, accountable, and critically reflexive communication practices that contribute to social change. In the spirit of democratic engagement, I welcome conversations about these research interests and how they might be applicable in various forms of pedagogy, community activism, and everyday relationships.
