Kathy Krone, professor of communication studies and affiliate faculty in Women's and Gender Studies, has received the Charles H. Woolbert Research Award from the National Communication Association. The award is given annually to honor scholars whose journal article or book chapter that has stood the test of time and has become a stimulus for new conceptualizations of communication phenomena. It recognizes Krone's work with a colleague on the article, "The Policy Exists But You Can't Really Use It," published in the Journal of Applied Communication Research, 30 (2002, pages 50-77). Krone received the honor during the NCA's annual convention, held Nov. 19-22 in Las Vegas.
