Professor of Media and Genocide, New York University
I am an expert in the sociology of media, with an emphasis on genocide, mass violence, and ethnicity in sub-Saharan Africa. I have written about global media patterns in covering genocide in Africa, ethnicity, land, and politics in Kenya, and on the Kenyan media's experimentation with social media platforms. My research has appeared in African Journalism Studies, African Affairs, the International Journal of Press/Politics, Global Media and Communication, Media and Communication, Media, Culture, and Society, and Sociological Forum. My book on journalism in Africa is forthcoming with Cambridge University Press. I am an assistant professor at New York University's Department of Media, Culture, and Communication and a faculty associate at the Berkman Klein Center of Internet and Society at Harvard University.
