I am teaching COMS 492: Affect Theory and COMS 643: Cultural Studies of News. My book, Second Wounds: Victim’s Rights and the Media in the U.S., has gone into production at Duke University Press and I am working on a new project on Kitty Genovese and the legacies of failed witness. I am also undergraduate program director for Communication Studies. And this site is getting put together.
