Dr. Andre E. Johnson, PhD, Professor of Communication at the Department of Communication and Film at the University of Memphis, was awarded the Douglas W. Ehninger Distinguished Rhetorical Scholar Award on Saturday, November 23, 2024, at the National Communication Association 110th Annual Convention in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Dr. Johnson has a noticeable and convincing impact on rhetorical studies, largely felt through his presence and encouragement beyond conventional academic networks. His work is adventurous, groundbreaking, and trailblazing. He examines oratory with an eye toward religious discourse, rhetorical appeals, and worldmaking. Apart from prolific scholarship, he also mentors his students through various means, including but not limited to co-authorship. Moreover, his work with the Colored Conventions Project and his public-facing appearances and research distinguish his undeniable influence on rhetorical studies.
“NCA is proud to recognize Dr. Johnson’s significant contributions to the Communication discipline with this prestigious award,” said NCA Executive Director Justin Danowski. “Through his years of service to NCA and as a leader in the field of rhetorical studies, Dr. Johnson personifies what it means to be a recipient of the Ehninger Award.”
