They received their PhD in Communication from the University of Utah and previously worked at Florida Atlantic University, Ball State University, and the Institute of Engineering & Technology in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. Dr. Muller's research is at the intersection of rhetorical studies, environmental communication, and critical animal studies. Specifically, they are interested in the humanity-animality dialectic and how human supremacy manifests in inter- and cross-species communication conflicts. Dr. Muller's first book, Impersonating Animals: Rhetoric, Ecofeminism, and Animal Rights Law, was published by the Michigan State University Press in 2020. Their current research projects involve the intersections of "alternative" food movements and U.S. political rhetoric, especially as manifested by recent turns to carnivore diets by the so-called "alt-right."
