PEDAGOGY

I am a feminist scholar working at the intersection of media and cultural studies. My pedagogy emphasizes close reading of media artifacts, paired with careful attention to the systems that produce them (technological, industrial, and cultural). My course design blends theory and praxis. We deconstruct media, experiment, and create our own digital works to better understand media and cultural production. My courses pose critical questions regarding the digital technologies and networks we rely on to create and engage with media. Who gets to share their stories? What platforms are these stories shared on? How do audiences get to engage with this content? How are cultural norms remediated in an era of digital production and networks?
