Adrienne Christiansen studies political rhetoric. Before joining the Political
Science Department at Macalester, she taught in the Communication and Media Studies
Department from 1990-2003. 

Her scholarly efforts have focused on the language of war and the rhetoric of social
movements. Most recently, she has been drawn to visual persuasion, particularly as
manifested in political editorial cartoons and in the role political monuments play in
maintaining conflict in Cyprus. 

Christiansen has been teaching at Macalester since 1990.
