Hi, I'm LaTonya Taylor.
Following a successful and varied career in the communications industry, I've returned to the classroom as a doctoral student in the College of Communication & Information Sciences at the University of Alabama. I am studying Public Relations and PR History from rhetorical and critical perspectives.
My research interests include the role of PR during the American Civil Rights Movement, PR and social movements generally, crisis communication, and qualitative study of the PR practitioner experience. I plan to research and teach at the intersection of PR/strategic communications, rhetoric, and history.
This page consists of four posts I wrote as a student in Dr. Meredith Bagley's Critical Cultural Theory class in Fall 2021. They demonstrate how I use critical and cultural theory in my scholarship.
