Dr. Hernández's 's Bio:

Dr. Leandra H. Hernández (PhD, Texas A&M University) is an assistant professor in the Department of Communication at the University of Utah. She is a queer critical/feminist health and media studies scholar with applied praxis contributions to teaching, research, and service. She enjoys teaching health communication, gender studies, and media studies courses. She utilizes Chicana feminist & qualitative approaches to explore Latina/o/x cultural health experiences, Latina/o/x journalism and media representations, and reproductive justice and gendered violence contexts. Her teaching philosophy is informed by social justice approaches, and she is passionate about mentoring students through diverse and inclusive research projects. She is the co-author of one monograph and co-editor of six co-edited volumes. Her most recent co-edited volume, Feminist Mentoring in Academia (with Drs. Jessica Pauly and Stevie Munz), explores the promises and impacts of feminist mentorship in higher education. Further, her research is published in the journals Health Communication, Frontiers in Communication, Women's Studies in Communication, Journal of Media and Religion, Communication Research, QED: A Journal in GLBTQ Worldmaking, and Departures in Critical Qualitative Research. Most recently, she is the recipient of the 2024 National Communication Association Women's Caucus Francine Merritt award in recognition of outstanding contributions to the lives of women in communication, particularly through mentorship, service, advocacy, pedagogy, and scholarship
