Dr. Larry Frey, University of Colorado-Boulder, will lead the 2008 Summer Doctoral Seminar.  Frey holds research interests in group interaction, applied communication (communication and social justice, communication and community studies, and health communication), and communication research methods (quantitative and qualitative).  His research seeks to understand how participation (especially by those who are under-resourced and marginalized) in collective communicative practices makes a difference in people's individual, relational, and collective lives.  He is the author/editor of 14 books, 3 special journal issues, and more than 60 published book chapters and journal articles.  His is the recipient of 12 scholarship awards, including the 2000 Gerald M. Phillips Award for Distinguished Applied Communication Scholarship from the National Communication Association (NCA); the 2004, 2003, and 2000 Ernest Bormann Research Award from NCA's Group Communication Division for, respectively, his edited texts, Group Communication in Context: Studies of Bona Fide Groups (2nd ed.), New Directions in Group Communication, and The Handbook of Group Communication Theory and Research.  Most recently he edited the Handbook  of Applied Communication Research.  You can read more about Dr. Frey's work at:  http://comm.colorado.edu/people.php?id=47
