Curriculum Vitae

Author of six books and twenty-three articles in the leading journals in his field, Frank’s most recent publication, Frames of Evil: The Holocaust as Horror in American Film, co-authored with Caroline J.S. Picart, critiques the use of visual rhetoric and narrative devices in Schindler’s List and other popular films to explain evil in the world. In February 2008, during the height of the Democratic election primaries, Frank, who is also the director of the UO forensics program, was interviewed on National Public Radio about Barack Obama’s rhetoric of consilience.
