cultural sociologist & media scholar
I'm an Associate Professor of Sociology at
West Chester University of Pennsylvania. As a sociologist of culture and media, I apply mainly symbolic interactionist and social constructivist perspectives to studies in three primary areas: (1) the sociocultural context of violence, (2) mass media effects, and (3) the relationship between new media technologies and social change. I received my Ph.D. in sociology from the University of Tennessee and M.A. in journalism and mass communication from the University of Georgia. Before academia, I worked as a print and online journalist for nearly a decade. Take a look around my site to find out more about my work. And feel free to email me with any questions, feedback, or interview requests. If you're looking for my course companion site, click here. |
