I strongly believe that teaching is the most important and impactful part of an academic job. Pedagogically, I see popular culture as an essential point of exploration, and it is a central part of my teaching. I encourage students to ‘connect the dots’ across media discourses, theory, social issues and activism. Overall, I hope to inspire students to think critically about the media that they consume in the everyday and consider how ubiquitous discourses construct narratives about the world and each other.

Modules that I convene:

CMM3009: Selling the Self: Influencer Culture and Digital Capitalism

Watch me talk about Selling the Self in this TikTok video for the Communications discipline.
