Dr. Rebecca Gill (Ph.D., University of Utah) is the Larry J. and LeAnne E. Merlo Presidential Chair in Communication and Entrepreneurship at Wake Forest University. Her research examines professional-entrepreneurial identity and practice, including how narratives of social identity (e.g., class, ethnicity, religion, gender) shape entrepreneurial sensemaking and experience. Her work has been published in several top-tier journals, including Communication Monographs, Communication Theory, Human Relations, Management Communication Quarterly, and Organisation. Dr. Gill’s most recent work explores the construction and implications of regional entrepreneur communities. She teaches courses addressing work, entrepreneurship, and critical social theory.
