Katherine Miller, professor of communication, will be awarded the National Communication Association’s Gerald M. Phillips Award for Distinguished Applied Communication Scholarship. The award recognizes a body of scholarship that spans a 20-year or longer time frame and is considered a “lifetime” achievement award by the NCA.

Miller was nominated by fellow NCA colleagues for her work in applied communication research, as well as of her status as a “senior” scholar known for her many contributions to the field of communication.

She will be honored in Chicago on Nov. 14, 2009 at an award ceremony during NCA’s 95th Annual Convention.

Miller’s teaching and research spans the areas of organizational communication, health communication, and family communication. Her research includes issues such as the communication of care and support in human and health services, emotion and stress in the workplace, and the development of identity among professional and family caregivers.

Miller has published two textbooks: Organizational Communication: Approaches and Processes (Wadsworth Publishing Company, 1998) and Communication Theories (McGraw-Hill, 2004). She is the former editor of Management Communication Quarterly and has published widely in such journals as Journal of Applied Communication Research, Management Communication Quarterly, Health Communication, and Journal of Family Communication.
