Lindsey Aloia
Lindsey Aloia, associate professor of communication in the Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences, was recently honored with the 2020 Janice Hocker Rushing Early Career Research Award from the Southern States Communication Association.
This award honors untenured, assistant professors with no more than five years in the academy that are SSCA members who demonstrate exceptional scholarly ability through research and publication.
Aloia's research is prolific. Aloia has published 24 manuscripts, three book chapters, a special journal issue introduction, and has two manuscripts accepted and in production, with seven manuscripts under review.
In addition, she has secured a book contract with Oxford University Press as the lead editor of a handbook on physiology of interpersonal interactions and physiological outcomes of interpersonal communication. Also, Aloia has presented her research findings at 31 regional, national, and international conferences resulting in multiple awards for top papers, articles, and a top dissertation award.
Aloia's work focuses on elucidating the causes and consequences of verbal aggression and in interpersonal communication associations, specifically how qualities of interpersonal interactions, as well as individuals, shape the use of and reactions to verbally aggressive experiences.
In her work, she considers consequential communication to illuminate the emotional well-being, cognitive fitness, physiological health, and behavioral implications of verbal aggression.
In his letter of nomination, Robert Brady, former chair for the Department of Communication, noted "Lindsey joined the communication department at the University of Arkansas in her first assistant professor position in 2015 and immediately impressed me with her exceptional scholarly ability."
He added, "I believe that Lindsey's innovative, theoretically motivated, and rigorous research, combined with her methodological prowess and commitment to the Southern States communication Association make her a strong candidate for the Janice Hocker Rushing Early Career Research Award."
