I investigate media’s role in both informing and misinforming us about our social worlds. I am currently interested in three vastly different types of media content: News, street fight videos, and selfies. I also develop training workshops related to inclusion and diversity for organizations.
The following premise guides my teaching, research, and service: Before we set out to resolve any communication problem, we must not forget to first look within to ourselves and develop an intimate understanding of who we are.
Teaching Interests
Quantitative Research Methods, Qualitative Research Methods, Media Effects, Race and Media, Media History, Organizational Communication, Social Media Networks, Intercultural Communication, First Year Experience
Research Interests
Effects of exposure to street fight violence in social media, Black family (mis)representations in news media, diversity and inclusion training effectiveness, motivations for selfie poses
