Mourning the greatest: “Unforgivably black” and peacefully Muslim Muhammad Ali
When Muhammad Ali died in June 2016, media were filled with remembrances of the boxer. Some memories focused on what he meant to his home state of Kentucky, or how an individual had bonded with their father while watching Ali in the ring. Others focused on what Ali's status as a celebrity Black Muslim man meant to them. The boxer who called himself "the Greatest" joined the Nation of Islam after his first fight with Sonny Liston in 1964 and later…

Teaching Breaking News
Breaking news is hard to define, though the Associated Press has framed it as "news of transcendent importance." Generally, it is news that provides information about an issue or an event the public did not already know, and it is increasingly tied to a feeling of "liveness." Because breaking news situations evolve quickly, the ability of journalists to cover them depends in part on the sources a journalist trusts and can access. All too often, t…
Monstrously Feminine: Orientalism Embodied in 2017’s The Mummy
In 2017, Universal Studios released a new version of The Mummy. The rebooted tale of an ancient Egyptian mummy come to life featured a female villain for the first time. The decision to feature a woman in the role was pushed by the film’s producers, director, and stars as an innovative and groundbreaking change. Audience goers did not seem to agree. The film was not successful at the box office and the studio scuttled the Dark Universe slate of f…

Witnessing the 2014 Gaza War in Tumblr
During the summer of 2014, Israel launched Operation Protective Edge against Hamas positions in the Gaza Strip. The decades old conflict between Israel and Palestine flared up after three teenagers were kidnapped and killed in the West Bank by rogue Hamas members. The 2014 war left more than 2,000 Palestinians dead, with much of the death and suffering in Gaza witnessed in, through, and by media. This research examines the witnessing of this conf…
Social media as third spaces? Exploring Muslim identity and connection in Tumblr
Third spaces have been imagined as sites of resistance, where hegemonic and normative understandings of the world may be challenged. New media are often imagined to have this liberatory potential as well, particularly for those individuals who experience social, cultural, or political marginalization. This research considers whether social media might help facilitate third spaces. It takes as a case for exploring this topic the experience of 188 …
Making Space in Social Media: MuslimWomensDay in Twitter
At the end of Women’s History Month 2017, social media sites were filled with posts using the hashtag #MuslimWomensDay. Muslim women have often been framed in media as either victims of a violent faith and its believers or enablers of that violence, rarely are they given the space to tell their own stories. The #MuslimWomensDay hashtag was designed to draw attention to the stories and experiences of Muslim women. This qualitative textual analysis…
Dissolving the Other: Orientalism, Consumption, and Katy Perry’s Insatiable Dark Horse
Pop star Katy Perry courts controversy with the performance choices she makes. She has been accused of peddling sex to young girls and of perpetuating racist stereotypes in her music videos and live shows. In early 2014, Perry stirred up controversy when she destroyed a necklace with the word Allah—Arabic for god—on it in her Dark Horse video. What received less attention was her destruction of Orientalized men of color in Dark Horse. Informed by…
When new media make news: Framing technology and sexual assault in the Steubenville rape case
The 2013 Steubenville, Ohio, rape case featured a sadly familiar story of juvenile acquaintance rape involving star football players; what captured national interest in the case, however, was how the rapists and peer witnesses alike captured video and photos of the sexual assault and disseminated them swiftly and publicly via social media sites. This qualitative textual analysis utilizes framing theory to explore how national news coverage framed…
The rise of anti-Muslim prejudice: Media and Islamophobia in Europe and the United States
The goal of this study is to determine the possible factors leading to increased anti-Muslim sentiment or Islamophobia in a comparative examination of public opinion in the United States and Europe. Secondary analyses of data from the 2008 Pew Global Attitude Project and the 2010 Pew News Interest Index, allow us to assess the role of religious practice, news interest and political affiliation in the attitudes toward Muslim minorities in several …
Development Communication: The State of Research in an Era of ICTs and Globalization
Through the technique of meta-analysis, this study investigates the scholarly articles appearing in peer-reviewed online and offline journals that address the topic of communication and development from 1998 to 2007 to determine publication trends in the field. The research was prompted by the sense that development was moving off the research agenda of most communication scholars. This seemed surprising in the era of globalization and it was dec…
