Patrice Buzzanell is a distinguished professor and former department chair for the Department of Communication at the University of South Florida[1] and at the Brian Lamb School of Communication at Purdue University. Buzzanell focuses on organizational communication from a feminist viewpoint. A majority of the research Dr. Buzzanell has completed is geared towards how everyday interactions, identities, and social structures can be affected by the intersections of gender.[2] She researches how these dynamics can impact overall practices, decisions, and results in the workplace, and more specifically, in the STEM fieldwork environments.
Buzzanell has written four books and 85 book chapters, published over 80 journal articles, as well as contributed to numerous conference papers. She is also a highly involved professor at Purdue University, where she is affiliated faculty with both Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies and the Center for Families, serves as a faculty team advisor and maintains a courtesy appointment with the School of Engineering Education. She also serves as the Butler Chair and Director of the Susan Bulkeley Butler Center for Leadership Excellence.
Buzzanell began publishing in 1991, covering such topics as feminist organizational communication theory, reframing the glass ceiling as a socially constructed process, and researching leadership processes in alternative organizations. She then released her first edited book in 2000 titled Rethinking Organizational and Managerial Communication from Feminist Perspectives. She has since been a featured author of chapters in different books and has written several articles (67 refereed, 17 non-refereed).
