| Research Programs |
- I am currently working on a framing analysis of Hillary Clinton’s 2007-2008 primary campaign for U.S. President. This study is analyzing newspaper coverage of her campaign events for epistemic sexism.
- My current research program centers on mass media’s effects on masculinity and male body image. I also have a passion for exploring personal narrative and autoethnographic methodology.
