George Edward Cheney
George E. Cheney is a Professor of Communication at the University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah. His research has involved the development of a number of new multidisciplinary approaches to the analysis of communication. In particular he has looked at issues of identity, power, resistance, ethics, peace, and globalization.(Cheney, 1983a, 1983b, 1995, 1998, 2009; Cheney & Tompkins, 1987; Cheney & Frenette, 1993; Baker & Cheney, 1994; Ganesh, Zoller, & Cheney, 2005). Cheney’s research, is distinctive in that his focus is on collective or group epistemological practices rather than the more traditional focus on the individual. Cheney's approach allows the study of collective political efforts of resistance movements, processes of socialization, and other communicative behaviors. And shows how they emerge through group interaction.[1][2]
