2022 Graduate Research Award Recipients:

Rachel Bryson, Utah State University: Rachel Welton Bryson is a PhD Candidate in Technical Communication & Rhetoric at Utah State University, where she teaches technical communication and first-year composition. Her research interests combine disability studies frameworks with the theory and practice of technical communication, particularly in how those theories coalesce around learning design in higher education. Specifically, she studies faculty responsiveness to student disclosures of less-apparent disabilities, such as mental health disability, and how policies, practices, and documentation surrounding disability accommodation both afford and constrain opportunities for student persistence and retention. Rachel lives in northern Utah with her geographer husband, three children, and a small but noisy flock of chickens.

Meghalee Das, Texas Tech: Meghalee Das is a PhD candidate in Technical Communication and Rhetoric at Texas Tech University (TTU), where she also teaches first-year composition and technical writing courses. Her research interests include user experience (UX), cultural inclusivity, online pedagogy, and digital rhetoric. She has authored chapters on intercultural communication and UX in the custom textbook used by the TTU English Department’s technical writing courses, and her articles have appeared in Technical Communication, Programmatic Perspectives, and Intercom.

Elena Kalodner-Martin, University of Massachusetts Amherst: Elena Kalodner-Martin is a PhD candidate in Composition and Rhetoric at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where her research is at the intersection of the rhetoric of health and medicine, technical communication, and feminist studies.

She currently teaches courses on social issues in computing in the College of Information and Computer Sciences.

Dina Lopez, Texas Tech: Dina Lopez is a PhD candidate in Technical Communication and Rhetoric at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas. Her research is on intercultural communication, organizational studies, storytelling, and rhetorical engagement with archives.
