My primary teaching area is media criticism with an emphasis on diversity in media, including representations of gender, race and ethnicity, and sexual minorities. Two of the JCOM courses I teach are part of the WGS program, which I have directed for several years: JCOM 4410/6410, Gender & Mass Media, and JCOM 3410, Film & Feminism. Before joining the USU faculty in 1994, I taught at Trinity College in Vermont and Kean College of New Jersey.
Since coming to USU in 1994, I have received some of the top teaching awards from students -- "Top Prof" (Mortar Board) and "Outstanding Professor" (Greek Society) -- as well as the JCOM department's award for Teacher of the Year. |
