Berkley Conner
Assistant Lecturer in Communication Studies
Berkley Conner is a PhD candidate in Communication Studies with a graduate certificate in Gender, Women's, and Sexuality Studies at the University of Iowa. Her research is at the intersection of rhetorics of health and medicine, reproductive justice, and rhetorical historiography, and her dissertation traces how menstrual discourses shape larger struggles over bodily autonomy and health care and equity. Berkley loves teaching and studying periods, but also playing tennis, volunteering, seeing movies at the theater, and traveling to visit her friends who are scattered across the country.
