Sherianne Shuler, PhD
Associate Professor
Dr. Sherianne Shuler (Ph.D. University of Kansas) is an Associate Professor of Communication Studies at Creighton University. Her teaching and research interests focus broadly on the intersections of organizational communication, gender studies, and media. One line of research involves the exploration of the emotional rules and coping strategies constructed by such diverse organizational groups as 911 dispatchers, domestic violence employees, reference librarians, and patients in a health crisis. She has also published critiques of the portrayal of executive women in Fortune magazine, the depiction of women's friendships on Desperate Housewives, the way that the princess culture is marketed to young girls, and how mothers are portrayed in social media. Currently, she is writing about how adults with ADHD are faring in the workplace and how employees at AJCU institutions manage the tensions of our current climate as they work to promote LGBTQ+ inclusion. Her research has appeared in such journals as Management Communication Quarterly, Women's Studies in Communication, The Popular Culture Studies Journal, American Communication Journal, The Electronic Journal of Communication, Communication Studies, and in several edited volumes.
Sheri teaches courses at Creighton in the areas of organizational communication, leadership, gender studies, media studies, autoethnographic methods, and public speaking. She serves as the Director of the Gender and Sexuality Studies Minor in CCAS and is also the internship coordinator and alumni liaison for the Department of Communication Studies. Her commitment to GSS is beyond academic, as she is one of the faculty moderators for GSA and a founding board member of Rainbow Parents of Nebraska, a nonprofit organization that advocates for LGBTQ+ youth at the state and local levels.
