Margaret Solice is a graduate student specializing in Rhetoric, Media, and Publics. Her research interests encompass archives, feminist histories, public address, and public speaking. Currently she is working on a project related to rhetorical theory, the history of rhetoric, and human assistive technologies. This project considers how rhetorical practices shape and are shaped by public discourse, technologies, and historical contexts. Her prior research considered the first all-woman State Supreme Court in the history of the United States, which occurred in Texas in 1925. She has a forthcoming article in Rhetoric Society Quarterly, titled “Hospitable Historiography and/of the First All-Woman Special Supreme Court in the State of Texas.” This work is based on her master’s thesis and calls for hospitable historiography as a critical method for coming to know figures of the past with depth. Margaret holds an MA in Communication Studies from the University of Texas at Austin and a BA in Political Science and Human Communication from Trinity University. Prior to pursuing graduate study, she worked as a debate coach at Harvard and volunteered with several political campaigns as a research assistant. Outside of academia, Margaret enjoys cooking, hiking, traveling, and playing with her dog, Rufus.
