- Sandra Metts (Ph.D) is a prominent interpersonal communication scholar and Professor Emeritus in the School of Communication at Illinois State University. Metts has dedicated her academic career to the study of interpersonal and social communication. Her research areas include deception in close relationships, politeness, , relationship engagement, and facework—face is a social identity that people construct during social interactions. A prolific scholar, Metts has published numerous articles, edited several top journals in her field, and co-authored multiple books. Her research and scholarship in interpersonal communication offers her “the opportunity to move beyond describing how meaning is created." She states, "I can actually offer an explanation of how communication functions in relationships and suggest ways that it can be improved.” In an interview, she says that her research aims “to contribute to our growing knowledge of what makes relationships succeed or fail. Since we all have friendships, romances, and family ties, the relevance of my work is broad and, I hope, useful.” In addition Metts states all her responsibilities as a teacher are of importance, even the tasks that she may grumble through such a grading exams or putting together effective course packets. She finds her work as a teacher very rewarding. “I guess the most meaningful to me is providing students with the opportunity to have better lives, personally and professionally, to be in control of their communication rather than a victim of it, and to be able to appreciate and facilitate the communication efforts of other people.” (en)
