PhD Candidate<\/p>\n
Auburn University<\/p>\n
Description of Work:<\/strong><\/p>\n As an RHM scholar, my research in health and medicine focuses on vaccine campaigns, FDA drug approval policies and practices, HPV and HIV medication rhetoric, gendered health disparities and embodiment, and ethics of care in health and medicine discourse. More broadly, my research bridges rhetorical genre studies, mobility studies, rhetoric of science, and technical communication. I have presented at the Feminisms and Rhetorics Conference, the Conference on College Composition and Communication, and the Southwest Popular American Culture Association Annual Conference. My work has appeared in Kairos, and I have a book chapter titled, \u201cGendered Responsibility: A Critique of HPV Vaccine Advertisements, 2006-2016\u201d published in the edited collection Women\u2019s Health Advocacy: Rhetorical Ingenuity for the 21st Century. I am currently writing a dissertation that examines how \u201cat risk\u201d characterization is operationalized in FDA\u2019s drug approval documents for three specific HIV drugs (e.g., Retrovir, Combivir, and Stribild), and in turn, how risk perceptions become normalized in public health policies and practices.<\/p>\n Socials:<\/strong><\/p>\n ErinFitz83864@gmail.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Erin Fitzgerald PhD Candidate Auburn University Description of Work: As an RHM scholar, my research in health and medicine focuses on vaccine campaigns, FDA drug approval policies and practices, HPV … Continue reading Erin Fitzgerald<\/span>
