TXST Associate Professor Honored With Putnam Early Career Scholar Award

SAN MARCOS – Stephanie Dailey, an associate professor in the Department of Communication Studies, has received the Linda L. Putnam Early Career Scholar Award from the International Communication Association.  

The Putnam award recognizes the contributions of an early career scholar to organizational communication research. Eligible scholars are no more than six years past receipt of their doctoral degree for a body of work that has made a significant contribution to the field of organizational communication and shows promise for continued development.

“I am so honored to have received the 2020 Linda L. Putnam Early Career Scholar Award from the International Communication Association,” Dailey said. “I feel so proud to be part of such a wonderful community of organizational communication scholars. I’m incredibly grateful for all the ICA Organizational Communication Division has done to help me in my early career.”

The selection committee judges the contributions and promise of an early career scholar based on the strength of her or his published work, including, but not limited to, its conceptual foundation, argumentative clarity, and rigor; its influence on the field (e.g., as judged by positive citations); the scholar’s productivity at a given career stage; and the promise of existing work serving as a springboard for continuing organizational communication scholarship.
