I am a sociologist of media and communication. My dissertation deals with the contradictions of audience participation, investigating both controlled 'participation from above' and spontaneous 'participation from below' with respect to video games, fan culture, and social media. I am currently developing a project that explores the relationship between the sociohistorical construction of time and the changing rhythms of prevailing media forms. Courses I have taught have included classical and contemporary sociological theory, self and society, critical theory, and urban sociology.
