Kathleen M. Rose
Postdoctoral Fellow in Science Communication
Lecturer
I'm a postdoctoral fellow in science communication in the Institute for Writing and Rhetoric. My research focuses on science and risk communication, with an emphasis on public understanding of science and public engagement/outreach with respect to controversial scientific and environmental issues. Much of this works is interdisciplinary and encompasses several fields, which is reflected in both my research and educational background that includes mass communication, environmental science, quantitative research methods, and science and technology studies.
