About Dr. Murawski
- As a rhetorical critic, I primarily analyze media texts examining the intersections of gender, race, politics and reproductive health. I am dedicated to critical scholarship and research to improve diversity and inclusion.
- Overall, my research agenda is rooted in social justice to promote a healthy democracy and encourage civic engagement. In my teaching, I emphasize critical thinking, community building and self-reflexivity as ways to create civic and democratic engagement with students both in and outside the classroom.
- I work to engage students as individuals and provide them with a rigorous academic curriculum while nurturing their abilities to communicate clearly reason critically and develop the communication skills surrounding public participation.
- During my time in academia, I have been awarded several teaching honors at the program, college and university-level. These honors were largely accomplished by intersecting my service and teaching which demonstrates my devotion to involving students in civic engagement.
