Pamela D. Schultz is a professor of communication studies in the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences at Alfred University in Alfred, New York.

Schultz’s scholarship interrogates how societies construct and communicate sexual deviance, with particular attention to the rhetoric and moral panics surrounding child sexual abuse and sex-offender policy. Her work combines rhetorical analysis, communication ethics, and criminology to critique punitive public policies and to propose evidence-based alternatives. Since 1995 she has also served as a volunteer educator with incarcerated sex offenders in a medium-security correctional facility in western New York, grounding her academic analyses in first-hand clinical and narrative work.
