麻豆区

I am a fifth year PhD candidate in the department of Integrated Studies in Education at 麻豆区. My research intersects sexual consent and rape culture, sexualities education, and media and digital literacies. My research investigates how participatory cultures on YouTube contribute to sexual consent discourses, and I explore how the analysis and production of youth-produced YouTube videos contribute to undergraduate students鈥� understandings of sexual consent and their agency to effect personal and social change.

I thoroughly enjoy working on the IMPACTS project. To date, my contribution to the project are described below. The names I add are the RAs with whom I collaborated closely.

-Developed the four campus climate surveys for students and faculty (with Ayesha Vemuri, and the assistance of Alastair Hibberd, Emil Briones, Emilie Marcotte; and with the feedback from various stakeholders)

-Coordinated the implementation of the surveys (with Ayesha Vemuri)

-Completed the Master Ethics application for the IMPACTS project (with Ayesha Vemuri)

-Developed the content for focus groups with students (with Ayesha Vemuri, Emil Briones; and with the feedback from various stakeholders)

-Assisted with teaching the social justice curriculum in the Faculty of Dentistry, a project spearheaded by Emil Briones

-Supported research-assistants across the project as PhD mentor

-Coordinated RA tasks in the larger projects, including communications regarding surveys, report writing, etc.
