Lisa L. Phillips
Dr. Lisa L. Phillips's research interests include environmental, Indigenous, and intersectional feminist rhetorics at intersection with sensation and embodiment. She is a faculty affiliate in the Climate Center and Women's & Gender Studies programs. She has taught undergraduate and graduate courses in rhetorical theory, history, and analysis, technical communication, visual and sensory rhetorics, multimodal composition, gender, and business and professional report writing. Her interdisciplinary research focuses primarily on socio-environmental issues and examines connections between social injustice, materiality, and embodiment particularly as these emerge in the public sphere in the form of protest regarding deteriorating environmental conditions. This includes the disproportionate effect of climate change on historically marginalized communities.
