I am a faculty member at the University of California, Los Angeles in the Department of Film, Television and Digital Media. I hold a PhD from the Media Arts and Practice program at USC School of Cinematic Arts. I am also a member of FemTechNet. Before UCLA, I taught at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and in the School of Media Studies at The New School. I sometimes use Wikipedia in the classroom and am a member of the FemTechNet Wikipedia Committee. I also coordinate Wikipedia edit-a-thons at universities, usually on the topic of feminism and technology. My research interests include: new media art, Chicana/o media, media histories, historic monuments related to film & television exhibition and production.
