Biography

I am an Assistant Professor of Journalism at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.

I received my Ph.D. in Communication from Columbia University and my M.Sc. in Comparative Media Studies from MIT. At both institutions, I studied the role of social media in the emergence of new cultural paradigms. This continues to be an important part of my research agenda.
