RESEARCH INTERESTS
I am interested in the history of communication/media technologies; media and space, race and media, resistance and social movements; media policies and critical information studies. I am intrigued by how media affect cultural changes in the public sphere, build cultural citizenship and (re)produce frameworks of everyday life. I am driven by questions of "who has the power?"; "how power is manifested" through mediated systems and how the trajectory of (inter)national cultural, economic, political, technological forces get shaped by global communication network.
