Arthur’s scholarly work has focused on the role of communication in constructing personal and social relationships and how personal identity evolves from within relationships and patterns of communication. His writings include two co-authored textbooks, Interpersonal Communication, with Sarah Trenholm (Oxford University Press, 7th edition) and Small Group Communication, with Joe Chilberg (Wadsworth.

CMM theory and practice drives all of these interests.
