Lauren Cagle completed her Ph.D. in Rhetoric and Composition at the University of South Florida, where she also earned certificates in Professional and Technical Communication and Women and Gender Studies. Her research interests include environmental rhetoric, technical communication, feminist theory, and disability studies. Drawing from citizenship studies and political theory, her current research analyzes discourses of citizenship in climate change policy, focusing on how they enable and preclude inclusive forms of deliberative democracy. Other ongoing projects include a study of online comments expressing skepticism about anthropogenic climate change and a materialist interpretation of the spread of scientific news on Twitter.
