Alta Keynote Images Argumentation and Advocacy I am now co-editing the journal of the American Forensic Association. For information on the journal and its editorial policy, please access this link.       academic biography: My research specialties include: rhetorical theory and criticism, feminist theory and criticism, political communication, social movements, and argumentation theory. Within these areas, I especially focus on the rhetorical constructions and implications of speaking from the margin. My own projects include an analysis of 1909 anti-suffrage postcards, a study of the anti-pornography movement, an analysis of Native American legal argument, and an exploration of the way cyber-movements function. I presently am working on the second edition of a textbook on gender in communication, Communicating Gender Diversity: A Critical Approach (Sage, 2007) with Dr. Victoria DeFrancisco. I also recently co-authored a rhetoric and citizenship textbook, Rhetoric in Civic Life, with my UNI colleague Professor John Fritch and St. John's University Professor Richard Ice. If you are interested in examining a complete list of my publications, feel free to link to a list of them.
