Robert Leston is a Professor in the Department of English at City Tech, CUNY. His scholarly work bridges avant-garde arts with rhetorical invention, continental philosophy, and decolonial theory. He teaches courses in introductory and advanced composition, technical writing, journalism, film studies, and literature.
- Education: Ph.D. in Rhetoric and Critical Theory (University of Texas at Arlington, 2007), M.A. in Literature (University of West Florida, 1999), BA in Creative Writing and Philosophy (Florida State University, 1992)
His research focuses on decolonial rhetorics, Deleuze and Guattari studies, and multimodal rhetorics, often exploring intersections between sound, image, film, and critical theory. His recent publications analyze posthumanism, Buen Vivir, Zapatismo, and the politicization of rhetorical frameworks.
In his multimodal projects, Leston integrates experimental media with rhetorical theory, exemplified in works like The RHIZ-cade and A Table without Organs, which interrogate digital artifacts and game studies. His critical writings address issues such as white language supremacy, horror in digital composition, and temporal theories of kairos.
