My research focuses on race, visual communication, and ethics, among other things. I have done studies on the effects of photographs on ethical reasoning, the role of images in agenda setting, and the moral development of journalists and public relations practitioners. I teach pop culture and the media and am starting to do research on that topic; my first paper is about how women musicians are stereotyped in the music press, and how women music writers are complicit. I am also working on a project to test if video fact checks are more effective than written ones, and another study on how journalists can write stories on controversial topics such as climate change without alienating people who distrust the science.
