Community Involvement

 I'm a critical media scholar interested in the democratic functions and potentials of media. Working individually and collaboratively, I look at the relationship between media systems, democratic principles, and civic engagement. I examine these themes through scholarship on internet governance policy, on independent and alternative media, and on approaches to expand critical information literacy to serve civic goals.
