  • Connecting Place to Disease and Gender: Cohabitating Morbidities in Narratives of Women Cancer Survivors in Southern Central Appalachia

    Kelly A Dorgan, Sadie P Hutson et al.ARTICLEWomen s Studies in Communication2014Cited by: 1References: 11

    Drawing on critical feminist narrative inquiry, we explore illness narratives of women cancer survivors living in Southern Central Appalachia via a daylong story circle (n = 26) and individual interviews (n = 3). In our article, we argue that participants functioned as illness genealogists as a consequence of their central location in families, as well as their location in a place (Southern Central Appalachia) characterized by what we call “cohab…

    Kelly A Dorgan, Kathryn L Duvall et al.ARTICLEJournal of Appalachian Studies2013

Phase I consisted of women cancer survivors participating in a day-long story circle (n=26). Phase II consisted of women cancer survivors who wer…

  • Risk Comprehension and Judgments of Statistical Evidentiary Appeals: When a Picture is Not Worth a Thousand Words

    Open AccessRoxanne Parrott, Kami J Silk et al.ARTICLEHuman Communication Research2005

    Too little theory and research has considered the effects of communicating statistics in various forms on comprehension, perceptions of evidence quality, or evaluations of message persuasiveness. In a considered extension of Subjective Message Construct Theory (Morley, 1987), we advance a rationale relating evidence form to the formation of impressions of evidence. We compare visual versus verbal representations of statistical evidence associated…

  • Hope and Despair in Pandora's Box: Perceiving Reproductive Reward and Risk of Genetics Technologies and Information

    Kelly A Dorgan, Sandra L Williams et al.ARTICLEWomen s Studies in Communication2003Cited by: 2References: 11

    African American and white women (N = 39) were interviewed about reproductive rewards and risks regarding genetics information and technologies. Analysis of their talk reflected several important themes. Emergent “reward” themes included the would-be parents' reproductive decision-making, preparation, and prevention. “Risk” themes, which were more predominant than reward themes, included genetic information as stress producing, “child-designing” …
