About MeI am a tenure-track assistant professor in the Department of Communication at the University of Arkansas, where I teach Film and Media Studies. My research examines the intersection of gender, race, ethnicity, and other identity markers within film and television. My current project focuses on portrayals of women inmates in prison dramas, such as Netflix's Orange is the New Black and Foxtel's Wentworth.
For my department, I serve as Advisor to the Film Appreciation Society. Some of the events that I have organized include speaking engagements from Geena Davis (Academy Award-winning actor, founder of the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media, and co-founder of the Bentonville Film Festival) and Liz Spaulding (New York Director of the Screen Actors Guild Foundation). |
