Dana L. Cloud
Dana L. Cloud is a professor of communication studies at Syracuse University.[1] She is an author and activist in the areas of social movements, feminism, queer theory, and critical rhetoric.[1]
Cloud coined the phrase rhetoric of therapy in her book Control and Consolation in American Culture and Politics: Rhetoric of Therapy. Cloud was noted outside of academia after the conservative writer David Horowitz included her in his book The Professors: The 101 Most Dangerous Academics in America.[2][3]
Cloud is a member of the International Socialist Organization.[4] Cloud participated in a protest against former Madeleine Albright's appearance on Syracuse's campus in April 2016, telling media outlets that she objected to Albright's record as U.S. Secretary of State.[4][5] Cloud was a signatory of an open letter from Syracuse alumni, faculty, and staff, that criticized Chancellor Kent Syverud and opposed the university's $6 million "University Place Promenade" project.[6]
