Vandenburg received his M.A. in English from the University of Nebraska at Kearney and earned his Ph.D. in English in Rhetoric and Composition from Texas Christian University.

In an interview with Kairos, he comments on the aim of the literacy video projects, relating it to his own study that he conducted three years ago: “we’re really hoping that we’ll encourage the academic contributors into getting outside of their comfort zones and talking to people who are working in genres that are not academic or not academically created.”
