Kelly Myers received her MA in Literature from the University of New Hampshire and her PhD in Rhetoric, Composition, and the Teaching of English from the University of Arizona. She researches the connection between Kairos, the god of opportunity, and Metanoia, a veiled female figure who personifies the missed moment. Kelly traces representations of the Kairos-Metanoia partnership from The Greek Anthology to the Renaissance emblem books, establishing the foundation for a rhetorical theory of opportunity and regret.
In addition to her interest in ancient rhetorical theory, her work explores the rhetoric of professional and collegiate sports. She teaches rhetoric courses on the science of sports, sports marketing, the Olympics, and women in sports.
