About Glen Stamp

Glen Stamp has taught at Ball State University since 1991, the same year he received his doctorate from the University of Texas.

His research on topics such as the transition to parenthood, defensive communication, and communication in abusive relationships has appeared in a number of journals, including Communication Monographs, Human Communication Research, Journal of Applied Communication Research, and Communication Quarterly. In his spare time, he takes care of his Golden Retriever Gordy, and his 25 year old turtle, Sebastina. He also enjoys situation comedies, reading mysteries, and rooting unfailingly (and typically unsuccessfully) for all Cleveland sports teams.
