Biography:
     Rick C. Moore earned his doctorate from the University of Oregon and has taught at Boise State since 1994. He is currently serving as the department chair.
     He loves teaching a wide variety of courses in communication theory, research, and criticism. Though occasionally dabbling in other "contexts" of communication, he mainly teaches courses related to mass communication.
     Dr. Moore’s research interests are in the area of mass communication and ideology. Much of his writing has investigated media portrayal of religious and environmental issues. Another key area of study is the social thought of Jacques Ellul, a French theorist/theologian who asked challenging questions about the role of technology in our lives. Writing under his full name of Rick Clifton Moore, Dr. Moore has published articles in: The Journal of Communication; Mass Media & Society; The Journal of Media and Religion; The Bulletin of Science, Technology, and Society; Advertising and Society Review; The Ellul Forum; and The Journal for Peace and Justice Studies.
     When not in his office, in the classroom, or the library, Rick enjoys spending time with his wife Kim and his children Emily and Danny. He also has a fondness for old houses (the Moore's version being a perpetual work-in-progress) and occasionally gets to spend time wading in Idaho's beautiful mountain streams.
