Alta Keynote Images Argumentation and Advocacy I recently completed my term as co-editor of the journal of the American Forensic Association. For information on the journal and its editorial policy, please access this link. AFA/NCA Biennial Conference on Argumentation. I directed the 2013 conference and edited the selected works volume produced by the conference. For more information, see the Alta Conferene website.       academic biography: My research specialties include: rhetorical theory and criticism, feminist theory and criticism, argumentation theory, social movements, and political communication. Within these areas, I focus on the rhetorical constructions and implications of speaking from the margin. My past 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. My current project is a book length manuscript analyzing the body argument used in the U.S. woman suffrage debates from 1909-1919. The third edition of Gender in Communication, written with Dr. Victoria DeFrancisco and Dr. Danielle Dick McGeough was published by Sage in 2019. I edited the selected works from the 2013 Alta Argumentation Conference, Disturbing Argument, published by Taylor & Francis in 2015. The second edition of Rhetoric in Civic Life, with my UNI colleague Dr. John Fritch and St. John's University's Dr. Richard Ice, was published in 2016, and the third edition is in process. If you are interested in examining a complete list of my publications, feel free to link to a list of them.
