Jody Koenig Kellas, Willa Cather Professor in the Department of Communication Studies, received the Most Promising New Textbook Award from the Textbook and Academic Authors Association. The award recognizes excellence in first edition textbooks and learning materials.
Kellas and co-author Valerie Manusov of the University of Washington were recognized for the textbook “Interpersonal Communication: The Within and The Between,” which introduces a philosophy called “wholeness” in which communication is viewed as a product of both the within and the between.
