Dr. Carolina Webber earned her Ph.D. in organizational communication and cultural studies (speech communication) at the University of Utah. Her research is informed by critical and feminist theories of organization and qualitative research methods as she studies relationships among power, organization and identity. Her current research projects explore the organization of difference (race, class, gender and sexuality) in social institutions such as the workplace and higher education. Dr. Webber draws on her interdisciplinary training to teach a variety of courses at the University of South Carolina Upstate, including Organizational Communication, Small Group Communication, Theories and Principles of Communication, Intercultural Communication, and her newly developed courses, Interviewing and Communicating Difference in Social Institutions.
