Aisha Lindqvist

Background

Aisha Lindqvist is on the faculty of the Department of Communication & Media and holds a Ph.D. from the University of Nebraska. Before Porter, Aisha produced video and podcasts for a media company.

Aisha's research focuses on public relations, with related work in writing studies; undergraduates are involved in the lab most terms.

Areas of expertise

• Public relations
• Writing studies
• Undergraduate research and project mentoring

Teaching

Aisha regularly teaches courses in Communication Studies, Professional & Technical Communication, English. Specific sections and syllabi are listed in the class schedule each term.

Courses lean on current problems from the field: students read recent work, reproduce a result or method, and then extend it. Aisha builds in low-stakes practice before graded work and gives written feedback on drafts.

Advising and office hours

Aisha advises students in the Communication & Media programs and holds weekly office hours during the fall and spring terms, posted on the office door and in the course pages. Prospective students are welcome to email to arrange a visit or a call.

Advising conversations usually cover course sequencing, whether to add a minor or a concentration, and how classroom work connects to internships, research, or graduate study. Students who are undecided are welcome; part of the job is helping them narrow things down.

Recent and representative work

Aisha's recent activity is a mix of peer-reviewed work, conference talks, and student-involved projects in public relations and writing studies. Representative items:

• A peer-reviewed article on public relations in a disciplinary journal.
• A conference paper on writing studies, co-authored with an undergraduate researcher.
• An internally funded project applying public relations to a regional partner's problem.

Titles and venues here are illustrative. UW–Porter Falls is fictional; Aisha has no real publication record.

Get in touch

The fastest way to reach Aisha is email (alindqvist@uwporterfalls.edu); messages during the fall and spring terms are usually answered within two business days. Prospective students and families can ask the Communication & Media department office to set up a call, a class visit, or a meeting during an admitted-student day.
