Researcher, Consultant, Teacher, and Writer
Research
My research pedagogy lies in studying social movements, women's studies, digital media, news coverage, and persuasive communication. I study the patterns and performance of care and acknowledgment (or lack of) in social media discourse & news coverage. My current projects are focused on the Indian #MeToo movement and the U.S. abortion rights movement.
