JILLIAN A. TULLIS

Jillian A. Tullis, PhD is Professor in the Department of Communication and is the program director for the Biomedical Ethics minor at the University of San Diego. Her teaching and research interests focus on health communication, specifically communication about dying and death. Tullis’ scholarship uses qualitative methods to study such topics as hospice team communication, tumor boards, and the concept of a “good death.” When not talking about dying and death, Jillian likes to watch movies, especially independent films, and is working on developing her knitting skills. She’s also fortunate enough to live near the beach with her Velcro dog, Rouxbee.
