Hello! I am an Assistant Professor in the
Sociology Department at the
University of Winnipeg in Manitoba, Canada. 


My research and teaching interests include media history, policy, and law; disability, medicine, and the body; and the sociology of technology. Currently, I am particularly interested in the intersections between media regulation and health/medicine. 


Prior to moving to Winnipeg, I was Associate Professor of Media and Cultural Studies in the Communication Department at Denison University in Granville, Ohio.



Meet my assistant, Desmond.
