About
My research attempts to better understand and theorize intersections of national, transnational, and cosmopolitan ideologies of culture and belonging by examining how producers of broadcast and electronic media are re-imagining national and post-national identities. My dissertation research focused on television producers and staff at the French-German and "European culture channel" ARTE, one of the world's first trans-regional media projects, and seeks to demonstrate that ethnographic attention to producers of trans-border media provides crucial insight into the dissemination of fast-changing ideologies and narratives of ethnic and cultural difference. My graduate research was funded by NYU, the Social Science Research Council, the National Science Foundation, and the Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research.
