Dr. Lynsey Romo is a professor in the Department of Communication at North Carolina State University (USA). Her research examines how individuals communicate about uncomfortable or stigmatized topics, spanning health, finance, and human-animal relationships. She has published work on how people successfully navigate social stigma to meet their plant-based eating goals, and how individuals manage the unique shame associated with bringing a non-rescue companion animal into their home. Her research also extends to the veterinary field, exploring the complex emotional labor required of veterinary professionals.
