Dr. T

Welcome to my academic website! Here at Idaho State University, I'm an associate professor in the Communication, Media, & Persuasion department and I teach in our Visual Communication program. As a researcher, I consider myself a visual semiotician, ethnographer, and historian. As an undergrad teacher, my area of responsibility is the Photo Media track. We provide a variety of face-to-face and online photo media courses, field experience, and professional studio application for our photo majors. I direct our grad program in communication and periodically I conduct seminars that critically analyze images within visual culture.

During the fall of 2017, several photo students joined me on a couple of astro-landscape photo trips. We worked at Chesterfield Reservoir and Craters of the Moon National Monument. © 2018 Terry Ownby
