Belinda A. Stillion Southard is an assistant professor in the Department of Communication Studies at University of Georgia. She is a public address scholar and a rhetorical critic with a PhD in Communication and a doctoral certificate in Women’s Studies from the University of Maryland. While her research and teaching interests are grounded in the public address tradition, they are guided by questions regarding the processes of identity-formation amidst political and social movements. These interests are reflected in her recently published book, Militant Citizenship: Rhetorical Strategies of the National Woman’s Party, 1913-1920 (2011). Stillion Southard’s research has also appeared in Rhetoric & Public Affairs, Communication Quarterly, and Voices of Democracy.
