Biography
Lynda Walsh is an associate professor of English at the University of Nevada, Reno. She studies the rhetoric of science—particularly the public reception of visual arguments in climate change debates. Her most recent book, Topologies as Techniques for a Post-Critical Rhetoric (Palgrave Macmillan, 2017), edited with Casey Boyle, explores topology as a spatial method for inventing new ways to deliberate over issues of science and technology. Her monograph Scientists as Prophets: A Rhetorical Genealogy (Oxford, 2013) traces a dominant strand in the public role played by scientists back to its historical roots in religious rhetoric.
