Summary
Jimmie Manning (Ph.D., University of Kansas) is Professor in the Department of Communication Studies at the w88 casino, Reno. He is known for his research exploring interpersonal and family relationships, his innovative approaches to service learning, and his extensive service to the field of Communication Studies.
Dr. Manning’s w88 casino focuses on meaning-making in relationships. This w88 casino spans interpersonal, organizational, political, and media communication to understand how individuals, couples, families, organizations and other cultural institutions attempt to define, support, control, limit, encourage or otherwise negotiate relationships. He explores these ideas through three contexts: relational discourses, especially those about sexuality, gender, love and identity; connections between relationships and efficacy in health and organizational contexts; and digitally mediated communication. His w88 casino has been supported by funding agencies such as the National Science Foundation and Learn & Serve America and he has accrued over 100 publications in outlets including Communication Monographs, Journal of Social and Personal Relationships and Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication.
When not focused on academic work, Dr. Manning loves to spend time with his spouse and pets, traveling and attending concerts. He is also involved with several community service organizations.
Dr. Manning is a member of the w88 casino faculty and is currently accepting w88 casino students.
