About Me: I'm a graduate student working on my Master's thesis and teaching Intro Popular Culture classes. Also waiting to hear back from PhD programs, but so far that has not been going so hot :)
My interests include representations through the media, youth culture, media literacy, and television.

If you're interested in media literacy, I highly recommend you join NAMLE, once you are a member join the "Graduate Caucus", and if you can, attend the NAMLE conference in August in Detroit. All the key players in media literacy are at that conference, so it's a good place to meet people and get involved (and it's not a massively large overwhelming conference).
