Research Interests
Professor Demo's research program reflects her training in rhetoric and her interdisciplinary background in visual culture and gender studies. Her work explores the relationship between rhetoric, identity, and U.S. cultural politics through two primary research concentrations. Her primary area of research has focused on the visual rhetoric of contemporary immigration policy and politics. Her current book project, Image Politics & Immigration Policy, examines the role that visual argument plays in promoting contemporary immigration policy and forming public opinion about immigration. Her secondary research examines the role of visual rhetoric in social movements.
Expertise
Professor Demo's expertise focuses on rhetoric, visual culture, gender, and immigration.
