¡Hola! I am an associate professor of rhetoric and writing studies at The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP). I am also associate dean of the Graduate School at UTEP. Teaching and mentoring graduate students is the best part of my job, but I also love the research and community-based work I get to do.
I work on interdisciplinary and collaborative projects in the following areas:
- risk communication (health, medicine, education, sustainability)
- user experience, user-centered design
- participatory action research
- art-based and visual methods
- intercultural and multilingual rhetorics
- organizational communication
I invite you to browse my site and suggest possible partnerships or consulting opportunities! I can be reached at ldura@utep.edu.
