Long Bio
Cynthia Gaffney earned her master's degree from Arizona State University in 1998. Her thesis titled "Sleeping Among Thorns and Blossoms: The Narrative Weave of Sexuality, Voice, and Action," discusses how narrative, specifically in the fairy tale "Sleeping Beauty," instills a passive silence in women's voices.
Professor Gaffney has been teaching undergraduate courses centered around message construction, persuasion, leadership and nonverbal communication since 1999.
