His research centers on political and rhetorical communication, particularly the rhetoric of presidential campaigns, digital media use in social movements, and geospatial data as visual communication. He explores how persuasive discourse functions in legal, political, and cultural contexts, with a focus on libertarian and conservative ideologies, media criticism, and democratic theory.

The publications reflect a consistent engagement with political rhetoric, legal discourse, and ideological critique. Themes include the intersection of law and rhetoric, conservative and libertarian political narratives, media’s role in democracy, and collaborative academic practices. His work spans forensic scholarship, media criticism, and rhetorical analysis of political figures like Ron Paul and Barry Goldwater.

Dr. English has presented his research at major academic conferences including the Eastern Communication Association, Rhetoric Society of America, and New Jersey Communication Association. While no formal advising or grant activities are documented, his teaching portfolio includes core courses such as Introduction to Communication, Media Criticism, Ethics in Media, and Persuasion, indicating a strong commitment to undergraduate education in communication studies.

He is actively contributing to scholarly discourse through conference presentations and peer-reviewed publications, though no labs, research teams, or awards are mentioned in the available materials.
