Biography
My research interests revolve around how media technologies impact radical subcultures and social movements.
In addition to my scholarly interests, I am also passionate about multi-media production, mainly non-fiction. I have worked on a myriad of documentaries on topics ranging from social movements in Greece to the politics of the COVID crisis in Brazil. I have also worked on many media productions for a variety of grassroots and non-profit organizations, supporting their efforts by making videos, graphic designs, animations, and website designs.
I received my Bachelor of Arts at Mount Holyoke College in Film Studies and my Masters of Fine Arts in the Film, Video, New Media & Animation department at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. I have taught at the University of North Carolina Asheville, Winston Salem State University, and Rainbow Community School. I have spoken on panels, presented workshops, screened films, and participated in art exhibitions in various places across the globe, including Montreal, Paris, Chicago, and New York City.
