Faculty Research

For Crystal Lumpkins, professor of communication at the University of Utah and cancer communication researcher at the Huntsman Cancer Institute, the work is always—first and foremost--community-driven. And like many professionals with advanced degrees, from medical doctors to social scientists, she logged years of schooling to earn a doctorate and emerged burdened with debt.

Please join eight College of Humanities authors for an afternoon of treats, celebration, and a behind-the-scenes look at bringing a scholarly book to publication.

Kim Kaphingst, Distinguished Professor in the Department of Communication is part of research team from Huntsman Cancer Institute at the University of Utah (the U) that has received an $8.3 million grant from the National Cancer Institute for a multidisciplinary project aiming to expand access to genetic testing, a powerful but vastly underused tool in cancer prevention and care.
