Hello.
Headshot by Stacy Turco (Fox & Wagon Photography)
My name is Marnie Ritchie (she/her). I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Communication, Media, and Design Arts at Pacific Lutheran University. I am affiliate faculty with Gender, Sexuality, & Race Studies.
In general, my research is at the intersection of rhetorical studies, critical/cultural studies and methods, critical surveillance and security studies, and affect theory. I research how US national security rhetoric manipulates affects to control racialized populations during war. You can read more about my published works under "Research."
I enjoy swimming, reading Nietzsche, and spending time with my cat Lenu (pronounced LAY-new). Lenu enjoys meowing at the neighborhood cats.
