INTERESTS: Dr. Kali is interested in how human communication entails a synthesis of verbal language, visual images, and nonverbal performative expression. Her research has explored the rhetoric of contemporary debates about humane standards in animal agriculture and she both directed and appeared in a documentary film about the contentious ethical guidelines in the production of animals for food, Farm and Red Moon. She has also served as a reviewer for the Journal of Critical Animal Studies. Her work on communication and human expression has been published in Communication Quarterly, Rhetoric Review, and the popular textbook, The Rhetoric of Western Thought. She received a Fulbright Scholar Award to teach at the University of Malawi and enhance the curriculum of communication and culture. Currently, she is interested in the intersections of art and science, and how these disciplines necessarily complement each other in the communication of science to a public audience. Her work in the macrophotography of insects is a case in point about how the arts and humanities support scientific inquiry.
