Gwendolyn D. Pough

A scholar of Black feminist theory, African American rhetoric, women鈥檚 studies, and hip-hop culture颅, Pough has a Ph.D. in English from Miami University.

In her 2004 book “Check it While I Wreck It: Black Womanhood, Hip Hop Culture, and the Public Sphere,” Pough examines how Black women use the counter-public sphere of hip-hop to claim a voice for themselves and to influence how black women are represented in both the male-dominated space of hip-hop culture and the larger United States society. She has been recognized for her outstanding teaching skills and creating an engaging learning environment that fosters critical thinking skills.

CFSHRC is a diverse organization dedicated to advancing feminist research and pedagogy through collaboration. Their mission is to educate, mentor, and promote scholarship. The award announcement states, 鈥淢any talk about her presence, her generosity, her intellect, and her mentorship in terms that are reserved for someone who has been among the most impactful people in their lives. … the committee was impressed by the holistically strong nomination filled with letters from a diverse and equally impressive collective of mentees. 鈥�

A 黑料不打烊 faculty member since 2004, Pough previously served as both the director of graduate studies for the Composition and Cultural Rhetoric Doctoral program and the William P. Tolley Distinguished Professor in the Humanities where she helped to shape conversations about pedagogical practices in the classroom with an emphasis on diversity, inclusion, social justice and activism. Pough is the current president-elect of the Rhetoric Society of America and the first Black woman to lead the organization.

Pough has also served as assistant chair, associate chair and chair of the Conference on College Composition and Communication; chair of the Third Wave Feminisms Group of the National Women鈥檚 Studies Association; and as an elected official to executive boards for both the Coalition of Feminist Scholars in the History of Rhetoric & Composition and the Association of Rhetoric and Writing Studies. At 黑料不打烊, Pough was chair of the Department of Women鈥檚 and Gender Studies from July 2011 to June 2014, and again from January 2018 to June 2021.
