A Current Research Study: Rhetoric and Rural Health

I am currently working with Dr. Melissa Stone (Appalachian State University) to examine rural health and rhetorical practices such as health literacy, political ideology, and rural health needs. We are currently developing a rural health framework for technical and professional communication (TPC) researchers. The special issue on rural health and rhetoric is slated to appear in the Rhetoric of Health and Medicine journal Spring or Summer 2025.
