Personal profile
Research interests
I’m interested in how people do things with media and discourse. Key sites for studying such communicative contexts include popular culture, museums and news media. Three social practices anchor my current research interests:
Performing expertise: how people express intimacy with culturally valuable things such as wine, fashion, or fitness
Anticipating audiences: how organizations and institutions attract, maintain and position audiences semiotically
Representing social events: how migration, politics, capitalism and other social events of scale are mediated and mediatized across platforms and mediascapes.
