Biography

Prairie View A&M University - Communication

Associate Professor at Prairie View A & M University
Higher Education
Toniesha
Taylor
Prairie View, Texas
Teaching: My teaching philosophy is rooted in the idea that my role in the classroom is to facilitate student learning through critical engagement with the material, other students and myself.

Research: My primary research agenda focuses on the ways in which womanist rhetoric and theology function as part of daily discourses infused in the lived narratives of African American women.

Service: I engage in service at the university, regional and national level as an active member of the communication discipline.
