Rebecca Dingo

Rebecca Dingo's research and teaching intersects twentieth century rhetorical theory with transnational, public policy, disability, and visual culture studies. She is interested in how public policy-making at the local, national, and global levels are created not only to persuade policy-makers but also every day citizens. Rebecca's current project looks across local, national, and global public policies. By considering the common and timely modes of persuasion that appear in each of her policy sites, Rebecca illustrates not only that policy-making is a rich genre of persuasion, but also that contemporary policy-making is a discursive practice that often produces and reifies gender, race, ability, and transnational inequalities. Rebecca’s work has appeared in The Journal of Women’s History and Concerns: Journal of the Women’s Caucus of the MLA.
