I am an associate professor in the Department of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. I teach introductory, advanced, and graduate courses in media and cultural studies. My research focuses on television history and criticism. My latest book, Legitimating Television: Media Convergence and Cultural Status, co-authored with Michael Z. Newman, is now in press at Routledge. Hope to see it in print by the end of the year. My first book, Wallowing in Sex: The New Sexual Culture of 1970s American Television, was published in 2007 by Duke University Press. I am also the co-editor of Undead TV: Essays on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, published in 2007 by Duke, as well. My work has appeared in a number of scholarly journals, including Critical Studies in Media Communication, Television and New Media, and Media, Culture & Society. I received my Ph.D. from the Department of Communication Arts at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2002. I now live in Milwaukee, Wisconsin with my husband, Michael Z. Newman, and our two sons.
