Her first book, Tasteful Domesticity, explored rhetorics of taste in 19th-century women's cookbooks. Now she spends her time on Twitter/X, Instagram, and TikTok, in order to better understand the landscape of modern motherhood through the content that most of us consume on a daily basis.
Leslie Hahner, Professor of Communication
Dr. Hahner is a scholar trained to interrogate how rhetoric shapes public culture. Her research primarily focuses on how visual texts shape the tastes and values of culture, often by engaging the work of rhetorical form, style, and argument. She believes that such research helps us to better understand the ways rhetoric moves audiences and the formation of public sensibilities. Her work has appeared in numerous communication outlets, including Argumentation & Advocacy, Critical Studies in Media Communication, The Quarterly Journal of Speech, Rhetoric & Public Affairs, and Communication and Critical/Cultural Studies.
