Academically, I explore the various power dynamics of mass media, such as film and television, primarily through a semiotic lens. As a professor, challenging and encouraging students to become active, critical consumers (and producers) of media content, often takes center stage in my classroom.
Creatively, video is my primary medium – either through an experimental less or a narrative one. While not all of my creative work relates directly to my academic research, I do believe an ongoing fusion of theory and practice is key to the learning process, in/out of a formal pedagogical environment.
