He also teaches a science fiction class in which they discover literary portrayals of historical paradigm shifts as well as imaginative and clever renderings of controversial social issues. Rudnicki taught at Louisiana Tech University for almost 20 years, where he was a senior endowed professor. Further, he also taught at Texas A&M University, Louisiana State University, and Alcorn State University, all representing a diverse career of university teaching of 26 consecutive years. Currently, he is interested in the rhetoric of AI, transhumanism, animal studies, and genomics, as well as the ways our discourse is changing to accommodate these forces that are technological, but also social and linguistic, as we learn to interpret and portray our world no longer strictly in terms of the Anthropocene, but in a new age of the Machinocene. He continues to write on these topics, and has most recently been teaching science fiction at Texas Christian University. RW Rudnicki has published essays, reviews, interviews, book chapters, and a book on figures such as Walker Percy, William Faulkner, Cormac McCarthy, Robert Penn Warren, Carson McCullers, Ralph Ellison, Richard Ford, Lewis Nordan, John Kennedy Toole, Thomas Bell, Charles Olson, Stuart Dybek, and Jericho Brown. His writing has appeared in the Mississippi Quarterly, the Southern Quarterly, the Faulkner Journal, the South Central Review, and the Arkansas Review. His work also has appeared in books by Louisiana State University Press and the University of Alabama Press, and in a digital edition by eBooks on EBSCOhost. Many of RW Rudnicki's essays have been reprinted and made available through the service known as The Free Library, which is significant in the sense that no subscription is required, and no enrollment at a university and no tuition is required. Further, Google easily translates the documents into any language. Global and unrestricted, the way they should be. For example, one essay uses both literal architecture and house metaphors in William Faulkner, Cormac McCarthy, and Nietzsche to understand the schism between humanism and postmodernism.

RW Rudnicki's writing has also been quoted in many scholarly books over the years, including ones by the presses of the University of Georgia, University of Tennessee, University of Alabama, Louisiana State University, Wesleyan University, and Oxford University.view less
