CANTON -- Jessica Prody, an assistant professor of rhetoric and communication studies at St. Lawrence University, has recently published two works in the field of environmental communication, the school said.

The first is a book chapter, co-authored with Brandon Inabinet, assistant professor of communication studies at Furman University in South Carolina, titled “Sustainable Advocacy: Voice for and Before an Intergenerational Audience.” The chapter appears in Voice and the Environment, a collection of essays published by Palgrave.

Prody’s second publication, “A Call for Polycultural Arguments: Critiquing the Monoculture Rhetoric of the Local Food Movement,” appears in the most recent issue of the journal Argumentation and Advocacy (volume 50, issue 2). In it, she examines how the arguments for local food movements reinforce a “monoculture” identity and illustrates how those of low socioeconomic status tend to be viewed as “outside” the bounds of the popular movement.
