Dr. Mohammed Rashid
Assistant Professor
Bio
I am an interdisciplinary researcher in the areas of Critical Cultural Communication, Global Media and TechnoCultures, Platform Studies, and Queer Theory. I teach the undergraduate courses, Introduction to Film Studies and Media Criticism, and the graduate courses, Critical Cultural Theory in Communication Studies and Media & Society at 欧美AV. I study global communication cultures, comparative media representations of diverse sexualities, and tactical media activism by queer counter-publics and ask critical questions around power, representation, and identity. I am specifically interested in communication practices that thrive in contexts of extreme gender and sexual marginalization through negotiating digital visibility.
I currently serve as the co-chair of Transnational Cinema and Media SIG at the Society for Cinema and Media Studies, and I am also a research affiliate at the Center on Digital Culture and Society at the Annenberg School for Communication, University of Pennsylvania.
