My research interests involve an interdisciplinary approach to the study of human/civil rights abuses in cultural representations. I am interested in the relationship between the written word and the image as discursive referents in socio-political contexts.
Related areas of interest include patterns of exclusion exercised on non-dominant communities within the paradigm of state-multiculturalism. I am particularly interested in how women writers and filmmakers represent marginalization, the reception of ethno-cultural media representations, as well as women in the rhetorical tradition.
In my work with William Anselmi we are we are further exploring some of these and related research interests through analysis of the de-politicization of film as instrument of social change through specific recent practices in documentary and mainstream film. As well, we have and are developing theoretical discourses and analyses with regards to the relationships between the organic world and technologies of the body as represented in media environments.
