DR. G. EDZORDZI AGBOZO









Assistant Professor, Department of English








University of North Carolina Wilmington


Winner, 2022 CCCC Outstanding Dissertation Award in Technical Communication

Reviews Editor, Rhetoric of Health and Medicine journal

ABOUT ME

I hold a Ph.D. in Rhetoric, Theory and Culture from the interdisciplinary humanities program at Michigan Technological University; a Master of Philosophy in English Linguistics and Language Acquisition from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU); and a Bachelor of Arts in English and Linguistics from the University of Ghana.

DISCOURSE OF TECHNOLOGY

My current project investigates the discursive-materiality of geo-spatial technologies such as the Global Positioning System and their localized versions such as GhanaPostGPS. I theorize the rhetorical work of these technologies, their usability, and their potential for governmentality, planetary coloniality, and algorithmic reticulation. I also connect these analyses to regnant logics of techno-scientific localization in the area of technical writing/communication and critical pedagogies.

RHETORIC OF HEALTH & MEDICINE

I research the rhetoric of health and medicine, especially the rhetorical ethics of medical discourse such as transnational Coronavirus vaccine trials and multinational pharmaceutical writing. My current projects in this area examine 1. how the complexity of vaccine trial histories connect to contemporary necropolitics of vaccine rhetorics, 2. planetary medical apartheid, 3. digital agency in/of multi/cross-cultural rhetorics of science, health, and medicine.
