Ken Johnson, arrived at the University of Southern Indiana after teaching at Pepperdine University in Malibu, CA and the University of Illinois at Springfield. Teaching at USI closed the loop for Ken who earned both a Bachelors degree and a Masters degree from USI.  Ken’s primary focus is rhetoric, but he also teaches humanities, ethics, and the Bible as Literature.
 
Ken often speaks and writes about gender language in religious groups, and he enjoys challenging his students to think about how we use language as a tool of power. Ken’s composition students also know that he encourages them to think in new and different ways about everything while learning to write without using those dreaded “non-thinking” words.
 
Ken’s return to Evansville placed him close to his grandchildren, and when you don’t find Ken in his office, you can safely bet that he used the time to read to his granddaughter and grandson.
