Dr. Robin Boylorn is an associate professor in Communication Studies. Her areas of research include communication and culture, organizational communication and interpersonal communication. Dr. Boylorn is also an autoethnographer, a researcher of herself, her own culture and her own identity as a black woman raised in the South. Her interest in researching the lives of black women comes from a realization that black women, particularly those in the rural South, were underrepresented in the body of research she was using in her class projects.
