My guiding vision is to help people combine awareness about social problems with collaboration across divides through empathy.
I am a scholar. Focusing on such notions as power, empathy, and truth, I use interpretive methods to explore how human beings can co-exist in ways that are beneficial for everyone.
I am a writer. Having authored a number of academic articles, I am now developing my ideas through nonfiction books.
I am an educator. My goal is not to have others think like me, but to help them find their own paths as they use, in creative ways, ideas that I provide.
I am in-between. My strength is an ability to draw from different disciplines and communities, to switch my perspective, and to find solutions that combine contradictory truths.
What else am I? An editor of the Journal of Media Literacy Education. An affiliated faculty of the Media Education Lab. A part-time professor at Columbia College Chicago. A synesthetic polyglot. An immigrant. A mom.

All ideas expressed on this website and in my publications are open to debate. I am always learning: my perspective on many important issues has changed over time. I do not think that anybody, including myself, has access to an objective truth about the world. That's why collaboration involving people with different points of view is so important. I invite a civil conversation about any of my statements and scholarship.
