Featured Faculty
A. Susan Owen, Communication Studies
Professor Owen’s scholarly interests center on the rhetorical influence of American mass-mediated culture in structuring public consciousness, moral sensibilities, and social conduct. Her research concerns the manner in which the texts of popular culture sustain and/or transform social constructions of gender, race, and race relations. Professor Owen studies the implications of these constructions upon the dynamic field of our cultural memory - the meaning of our nation’s stories and our collective sense of identity as a national people. Her most recent book collaboration is Bad Girls: Cultural Politics and Media Representations of Transgressive Women. Learn more about research interests of faculty in communication studies.
