Faculty Member, Walter Cronkite School of Journalism & Mass Communication
Assistant Professor, Public Relations
About
I study the intersection between organizations, media, and public policy from the perspective of complexity theory. I use a variety of methods in my work, primarily network and narrative analysis. Some specific areas of focus include crisis communication, issue identity and management, knowledge, organizational identity and reputation.
I have taught public relations, organizational communication and leadership, sand general communication theory, as well as a wide variety of professional seminars and workshops. At ASU I teach courses in public relations and social media. This semester I'm teaching PR Research Methods, in which students design, conduct, and analyze both quantitative and qualitative research projects. In the spring I'm also teaching my course for all majors on the Tempe campus, in which we investigate the world of social media as it stands today, learning about a variety of tools, and examining them from a range of perspectives: economic, cultural, legal/ethical, and in terms of privacy.
I have over fifteen years' experience in various communication fields, and a PhD in Mass Media & Communication. Most of my professional career unfolded in Bologna, Italy, where I lived for close to two decades.
