Avery Edenfield he/him/his Communication Associate Professor | CULTRA Lab PI avery.edenfield@usu.edu https://profile.usu.edu/english/images/faculty/edenfield-avery.jpg /english/directory/cvs/edenfield-avery-cv.pdf I am an associate professor of rhetoric and technical communication in the Department of Communication at Utah State University. My research agenda works at the intersections of technical, cultural, and public rhetorics with attention to the technical writing strategies marginalized communities employ for self-advocacy, particularly in extra-institutional contexts. My work has appeared in the <i>Journal of Business and Technical Communication</i>, <i>Technical Communication</i>, <i>Nonprofit Quarterly</i>, <i>Technical Communication Quarterly</i>, and <i>Communication Design Quarterly</i>. In the spring of 2022, I was appointed as the Inaugural Director for the Center for Intersectional Gender Studies and Research. Through my work in technical communication and gender studies, I have mentored students on research projects around queer theory, feminist theory, community rhetorics, and similar adjacent topics. https://artsci.usu.edu/communication/tech-comm-rhetoric/cultra/ CULTRA Lab
