Regents’ Professor Emeritus at the University of New Mexico, Karen Foss has been on the forefront of scholarship that incorporates and legitimizes marginalized voices in the communication discipline. As an early feminist scholar, she examined women’s forms of expression and how those differ from and expand what counts as important communication. She is also known for her extensive work on Harvey Milk, the first gay supervisor in San Francisco. In integrating diverse voices into communication, her work invites new understandings of communication and social change and expands the toolbox of options for communicators. Karen holds a PhD in Communication from the University of Iowa and an MA from the University of Oregon. She and her husband live in Albuquerque.
