I am a scholar and practitioner of media literacy education focusing on issues of diversity, in particular gender and sexuality.
In my primary research I combine principles of media literacy education, media studies, gender studies and anti-bias education in order to explore strategies of teaching about diversity in and through the media. I understand diversity broadly as an intersection of gender, sexuality, race, class, and physical ability.
In addition, I investigate the impact of the media on public understanding of sexual violence (rape, child sexual abuse, street harassment, revenge porn, etc.), and opportunities to use media literacy education to help people better understand these sensitive issues.
I hold a PhD in Media and Communication from Temple University, and a PhD in Cultural Studies from St. Petersburg State University, Russia. I am an affiliated faculty of the Media Education Lab, and a Leadership Council member of the National Association for Media Literacy Education (NAMLE).
