Alexandra Parr Balaram

Alexandra Parr Balaram is a Teaching Assistant and Lecturer in the Department of Communication at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee's College of Letters & Science. Her research focuses on critical rhetoric, specializing in rhetorics of mobility, race, space, place, time, and agency. She employs racial rhetorical criticism to examine how these concepts intersect and are co-constituted in societal discourse.

Her research interests bridge communication theory and social justice, emphasizing how mobility and spatial practices are racialized and can serve as forms of resistance. Balaram's work contributes to understanding the complexities of identity and power dynamics in contemporary communication landscapes.

She has published on rhetorical frameworks for mobility studies and feminist historical analysis, with recent work exploring discursive resistance and gender politics.
