ChelónaRSA is proud to announce that two undergraduate scholar Terps will be presenting research at the Eastern Communication Association Undergraduate Studies Conference in Baltimore, MD on April 1!
Nicole Coletti (Class of 2016)
Nicole Coletti (Class of 2016) will present “Abolition and the Cult of Domesticity: The Rhetorical Strategy of a Free Black Woman” on a panel on Friday, April 1, 12:15-1:15 (Columbia Room).
Emily Schaefer (Class of 2017)
Emily Schaefer (Class of 2017) will present “Asking for More Than More: Maria Stewart’s Revolutionary Take on the Black Jeremiad” at a poster session on Friday, April 1, 2:30-3:45 (Harborview Room).
Their work combines archival research and original analysis originating in COMM360: Rhetoric of Black America. Their faculty sponsor, Chelóna RSA officer Jaclyn Bruner, emphasized that “ undergraduates rarely present projects at academic conferences, and both students in this case have created and executed excellent work to share with faculty and graduate students across the region.”
This will be a conference debut for both students. If you are planning on attending ECA, please consider supporting our undergraduate Terps by attending their presentations!
