Associate Professor Elizabeth Gray BA, MA, PhD
Associate Dean Teaching and Learning
Massey Business School - Deputy PVC's OfficeMy areas of research interest include written and oral communication demand in scientific and business workplaces and the teaching of oral communication competencies at tertiary level. I have undertaken a national study of the oral communication skills expected of accounting graduates, by New Zealand accounting employers (reported in Business Communication Quarterly and Accounting Education, as well as other academic and practitioner outlets).
I am presently engaged in a long-term study of non-profit organisations and their digital communications with their stakeholders. My collaborators and I have partnered with almost forty New Zealand non-profits to investigate their goals and practices regarding electronic newsletters, and we have surveyed over 16,000 recipients of these newsletters to better understand their reading practices and preferences.
I also undertake research in nineteenth-century women's poetry and journalism. I have written a book on Victorian women’s poetry (Christian and Lyric Tradition in Victorian Women's Poetry, Routledge 2010), and in 2012 published a book project on women’s journalism in the nineteenth century (Women and Journalism at the Fin de Siecle: Making a Name for Herself, Palgrave Macmillan 2012). My work in this area has been funded in part by a Marsden FastStart Grant. I am presently working on two nineteenth-century journalists, Alice Meynell and Dora Greenwell, and continuing work on a project on the intersection of journalism and poetry.
I teach professional writing, editing and publishing at undergraduate level, and also undertake graduate supervision. My research interests include women's journalism history, workplace communication competencies (particularly oral communication), and stakeholder communication for non-profit organisations.
