Priyanka (Priya) Ganguly

Priyanka (Priya) Ganguly serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of English at Texas Tech University, specializing in Technical Communication & Rhetoric. Her research critically examines communication practices at the intersection of rhetorics of health and medicine, institutional structures, and transnational contexts, with particular focus on global public health documentation systems and social justice implications.

Her educational background includes:

• PhD in Rhetoric and Writing, Virginia Tech

Dr. Ganguly's research program investigates backstage rhetorics of communication design through assemblage theory and articulation frameworks, analyzing how human and non-human components shape technical documentation in transnational spaces. She employs qualitative methodologies including interviews and focus groups to examine power dynamics in global health communication, particularly regarding maternal nutrition indicators and reproductive justice advocacy. Her work bridges theoretical rigor with practical applications for ethical technical communication practices.

Analysis of her publication trajectory from 2020-2025 reveals consistent engagement with power structures in transnational health communication, genre studies in technical writing, and digital advocacy. Key thematic clusters include maternal health policy implementation, reproductive justice counterpublics on social media, and professional identity construction through academic genres like the Statement of Purpose.

No scientific awards are documented in the available information.

Dr. Ganguly's advising activities and grant funding are not specified in current records, though her research agenda suggests active mentorship in technical communication and health rhetoric.
