Dr. Harroff comes from the University of Kansas as an Assistant Professor. Her research draws on perspectives from rhetorical studies, decolonial theory, and African studies to refigure matters of violence, identity, national community, justice, and democratic norms. Her dissertation, titled “Reimagining the National Community through Truth and Reconciliation: A Rhetorical Analysis of Truth Commissions in South Africa, Kenya, and the United States,” focuses on key concepts in the work of truth commissions—truth, reconciliation, and justice—to examine how they contribute to national unity.
