About Me
After majoring in biology and psychology at the University of Nebraska, I began a neuroscience PhD program at the University of Illinois. I quickly realized that I’d rather write articles than cut up hamsters, so I switched to a master's program in journalism.
This led me to the Institute of Communications Research, an interdisciplinary PhD program at the University of Illinois that introduced me to fascinating issues in media studies. Since getting my PhD in 1985 I have been a media studies professor at the University of Virginia, the University of Texas-Austin, and since 1991, at the University of Tulsa. [CV]
What I’ve learned about overcoming obstacles to my own academic writing led to offering academic writing support to colleagues in the humanities, social sciences and sciences.
​
Since becoming an emerita professor in 2019 I have committed to writing for a wider public. I am currently working on essays that connect personal experience with cultural theory.
