Will Nevin

Will Nevin is an Assistant Professor and Program Coordinator for Communications Media at Alabama A&M University, where he teaches classes in media law, news writing, and public speaking. As a freelance writer, his interests are in both a wide range of features and the intersection of the First Amendment and public policy, including free speech rights for public school students and attempts to regulate or criminalize online speech, such as a recent piece examining the constitutional rights of a Florida man arrested for sharing rhetorically violent political speech memes. He holds a bachelor’s degree in journalism and political Science, a master of arts in communication, a Juris Doctor, and a Ph.D., all from the University of Alabama. In addition to serving on AAMU’s 150th Anniversary Committee, he is a proud part of the City of Huntsville’s Male Mentorship Program and a leader in the city’s bustling running community. He is also a citizen of the Poarch Band of Creek Indians and serves as an alternate to the tribe’s Ethics Board.
