Gloria Boone is a Professor of Communication at Suffolk University in Boston, Massachusetts. I teach classes in Advertising, New Media, Information Architecture, Usability, Web Design, Organizational Communication, and Protest and Reform Rhetoric.

I am on sabbatical writing a book about New Media and I am working on a book about Freedom & Protest in American Social Movements. I have been invited to present some lectures this Spring about online advertising and New Media at Universidad San Pablo-CEU in Madrid, Spain.

Other visiting lectures have been presented in Belarus and Senegal.

I have written books on Rhetorical Communication and about Business Communication. Recent articles and presentations are about topics such as online advertising, communicative informatics, health care marketing, usability, blogs, and rhetoric.

As a classically trained rhetorician and as a New Media expert, I believe the arts and the humanities inform developments in web design, technology and communication.
