About MeThis fall, I will be starting as a tenure-track assistant professor in the Department of Media, Film & Journalism Studies at the University of Denver, where I will teach film studies. Generally speaking, my research examines the intersection of gender, race, ethnicity, and other identity markers within film and television. My current project focuses on bridging the gap between on-screen narratives of women inmates in prison dramas, such as Netflix's Orange is the New Black and Foxtel's Wentworth, with off-screen narratives from real-life inmates.
Prior to this, I had the distinct pleasure of serving as an assistant professor in the Department of Communication at the University of Arkansas for five years. |
