About the presenter:
Erin A. Frost is an assistant professor of English at East Carolina University, where she studies the intersections of feminisms with technical communication, rhetoric, and composition. She has an employment history as an investigative journalist, and she uses that experience to inform her teaching and research. Her research is often based in rhetorics of health and medicine, environmental rhetorics, and risk communication. Erin’s dissertation, "Theorizing an Apparent Feminism in Technical Communication," won the 2015 Conference on College Composition and Communication Outstanding Dissertation Award in Technical Communication. She most enjoys doing research that critiques patterns of behavior. For example, her recent article (co-authored with Angela Haas) “Seeing and knowing the womb: Examining rhetorics of fetal ultrasound toward a decolonization of women’s bodies” questions the cultural imperative of fetal ultrasound as a way to see past the “barrier” of women’s bodies and validate their embodied experiences. Much of Erin’s recent work focuses on making feminism explicit, or apparent, as in her recent article “Apparent feminism as a methodology for technical communication and rhetoric” and several works on apparent feminist pedagogy. Erin’s work has appeared in Computers and Composition, the Journal of Business and Technical Communication, Technical Communication Quarterly, Programmatic Perspectives, and Peitho.
