About
About
Dr. Malachowski has taught several undergraduate and graduate courses at Florida International University, West Virginia University, and Regis College including introduction to communication, public speaking, interpersonal communication, organizational communication, small group communication, nonverbal communication, research methods, and gender and communication.
Dr. Malachowski is also the Carole Remick Endowed Program Director in Communication. In this role, Dr. Malachowski assists with the New England High School Journalism Collaborative, which provides high school students with an annual summer workshop on journalism. The workshop was co-founded and directed by the late Carole Remick, who once declared, “Regardless of color, creed, or nationality, this program will continue to serve as a platform for students from many communities so that all different cultures will be represented in the media.” More information on this program can be found at Carole Remick's New England High School Journalism Collaborative.
Dr. Malachowski’s research explores the role of communication in romantic relationships and examines various techniques (i.e., visualization and implementation intentions) that may alleviate anxiety associated with discussing taboo topics in interpersonal relationships. She has published in several communication journals including the Western Journal of Communication, Communication Quarterly, Communication Education, Communication Teacher, and Communication Research Reports.
