Rhetorical research increases with the growth of the field. At the moment, the rhetorical research group consists of professor Brigitte Mral, assistant professor Marie Gelang, Phd Helena Hansson-Nylund and three PhD students: Linus Pentikäinen, Waldemar Petermann and Linda Söderlindh. From autumn 2018, the group will be expanded with the associate professors Assimakis Tseronis and Noah Roderick. The current research explores areas such as crisis communication, non-verbal communication, visual rhetorics, forensic rhetoric and rhetoric and gender.
