Professional Activities

Later this year, Jamie Landau, an assistant professor of communication, will publish an article in the academic journal, Women’s Studies in Communication. The article is titled “Reproducing and transgressing masculinity: A rhetorical analysis of women interacting with digital photographs of Thomas Beatie” and was adapted from a chapter of Landau’s dissertation. In addition, Landau recently received a Faculty Development Grant to cover the costs of reprinting images with this article, as her study examined what a sample group of women of childbearing age thought, felt, and did with digital photographs of Beatie, known as “The Pregnant Man.” Landau’s study parts ways from existing feminist scholarship on images of pregnant men that suggest they are patriarchal.

Emily Porschitz, Management, has had a chapter entitled “Going through the Mist: Early Career Transitions of Millennial Generation Chinese Returnees” accepted for publication in Managing the New Workforce: International Perspectives on the Millennial Generation, to be published 2013.
