Biography
Hailing from Colorful Colorado, Katie Lind has lived in seven states around the country and sees rhetoric everywhere. As a rhetorical and critical cultural scholar, she studies the intersections of visual rhetoric (and media studies), environmental communication, public advocacy and social movement communication, civic engagement, and public memory. She has published essays in Quarterly Journal of Speech, Environmental Communication, and the Howard Journal of Communications. She co-edited a special issue of Rhetoric Society Quarterly which featured essays composing a “Rhetorical Bestiary.” Believing in praxis, Katie becomes a part of her community through volunteering, attending city hall meetings, and local environmental advocacy.
Katie is currently developing a book-length project that explores extinction and biodiversity loss as a rhetorical project. Katie enjoys dancing, puzzling, critiquing media (read: over-analyzing TV shows), and exploring whatever city she is in. She’s a fierce advocate for public transportation and finding ways to encourage American culture to become less dependent on cars (#NUMTOT pride).
