E Cram, associate professor in the Department of Gender, Women, and Sexuality Studies and the Department of Communication Studies, received the prestigious Karl Wallace Memorial Award from the National Communications Association.  

The Karl Wallace Memorial Award is given to scholars who have contributed to the study of rhetoric and public discourse. The award includes a grant for the recipient to continue their research project.  

"This recognition of my research and career thus far, I hope, will provide a model to others in the field who work to center marginalized histories and their ecological niches,” Cram said.
