Joseph L. Chesebro

Associate Professor


Bio:

I arrived at Brockport in 1999 and have been enjoying my time here ever since.  I thoroughly enjoy teaching graduate and undergraduate courses in interpersonal communication, workplace communication, and training and development. My research has examined student-teacher communication, and more recently I've begun to look at how experts in the workplace communicate their hard-to-describe expertise to others (it's not easy!).   My goal in the classroom and in my research is to identify practical and useful ways we can apply what we are learning.

When I'm not busy at work, I'm enjoying fun times with my wife and my two very fun young kids.  I also enjoy playing tennis & drums, learning to play piano, and going to concerts (and collecting live recordings of concents).

Thanks for stopping by - Joe
