Biography
Erica Ciszek is Associate Professor at Moody College of Communication, The University of Texas at Austin, USA. Her scholarship explores how people and organizations navigate power, identity, and structural conditions that shape voice, visibility, and erasure. Ciszek’s research examines what communication does, for whom, under what conditions, and with what consequences. Using theoretically and empirically rigorous methods, she studies marginalized and hard-to-reach populations and considers how communication can promote equity, inclusion, and social change.
