Sonja Mayrhofer received her Ph.D. from the University of Iowa’s English Department and is a Lecturer in the Rhetoric Department and Co-Director of the UI Conversation Center. Her scholarship is often interdisciplinary and is informed by her interest in comparative literature and the health humanities. In the Rhetoric Department, her teaching explores many of her interests: the rhetoric of selfhood (both in advertising and memoirs), forensic rhetoric (how we use the past to make arguments), and intercultural experiences.
