Senior Lecturer in Critical Media Studies, Auckland University of Technology Kia ora! I'm a senior lecturer and researcher in the Critical Media Studies Department, at Auckland University of Technology's Te Kura Whakapaho (School of Communication Studies). My current research focuses on media literacy, promotional culture, and childhood studies, and the mediated representations of gender and religion. I am particularly interested in how the media helps shape our identity and empowering (particularly young) people to have agency over how they interact with media.
