Asmita Ghimire

I’m Asmita Ghimire (she/her), a PhD candidate in Rhetoric, Scientific, and Technical Communication at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. As an educator, researcher, and practitioner, my work is rooted in a deep commitment to social justice. I specialize in International and Transnational Technical Communication, Non-Western Rhetoric, Transnational Feminist Rhetoric, Feminist Methodology, and the Rhetoric of Global Public Policy.

I am also a User Experience (UX) researcher, technical communication scholar, and pedagogist. My research centers on amplifying marginalized voices and developing transnational frameworks that reflect the lived experiences, knowledge, and perspectives of people in the Global South. I explore how computational architecture—including machine learning, artificial intelligence, and natural language processing—can be critically examined through the lens of transnational feminist thinking.

Through my work, I aim to develop inclusive methodologies and practical tools that empower historically silenced communities. I believe technical communication offers an action-oriented framework with the potential to create more equitable, responsive, and globally informed systems of knowledge and practice.
