Jenny Woolley Barone (Ph.D., Ohio University, 2024) is an assistant professor of instruction in the department of Communication at Temple University. Her areas of interest span social change rhetoric, digital activism, and affect/emotion in social movements. Currently, her current research explores the communicative and performative ways vulnerability is constructed in social movements and how such representations can aid or hinder activists’ social change efforts. Her authored essays on topics from precarity and performance to memorable messages can be found in Liminalities: A Performance Studies Journal and the Ohio Journal of Communication. Informed by her scholarship, Barone enjoys teaching undergraduate courses covering conversations on social movements, argumentation and advocacy, communication and technology, and communication and culture.
