Michael J. Hoppmann is an Associate Dean for Undergraduate Programs of the College of Arts, Media and Design, and Teaching Professor in the Department of Communication Studies at Northeastern University. Before joining Northeastern University Dr. Hoppmann worked at the University of Tuebingen teaching classes in Classical Rhetoric and modern Argumentation Theory. Dr. Hoppmann studied classical Rhetoric and Philosophy at the Universities of Tuebingen and Barcelona. In 2008 he was awarded a Dr. phil. degree summa cum laude based on his work on modern stasis theory. His research lies at the intersection of Classical Rhetoric, Modern Argumentation Theory, Theories of Justice and Humor Theory. His guiding question focuses on reasonable reconstruction and ethical rhetoric and can be summarized as “What do we owe our enemies?”. Dr. Hoppmann is author or co-author of five books, including A Synoptic History of Classical Rhetoric (4th edition 2013), Handbook of Rhetorical Training (Trainingsbuch Rhetorik, 3rd edition 2012), Argumentative Competence (Schlüsselkompetenz Argumentation, 2nd edition 2012) and Argumentative Defense (Argumentative Verteidigung 2008). He has published peer reviewed articles in Philosophy and Rhetoric, Argumentation, the Journal of Argumentation in Context, and Cogency as well as many book chapters and lexicon articles. His most recent explorations into Humor Theory aim to connect humor, ethics and argumentation – what are the moral limits of humor and why does it matter for reasoning?
