Cassandra joined the Communication Department in 2007 as a Visiting Assistant Professor, teaching Interpersonal and Group Communication. She is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Communication and Culture, Performance Studies from Indiana University-Bloomington. Her dissertation in progress, "Symbolic Transformations of Place: Incarceration, Liberation, and Leisure at 'The Rock' examines the development and maintenance of meanings associated with place. Specifically, she addresses the performative nature of public memory and tourism as forces informing the symbolic transformation of space and the contested meanings attributed to Alcatraz Island, former site of a military fort and prison, federal prison, Native American occupation, and currently a park and tourist attraction.
Before coming to Denison, Cassandra served as an Associate Instructor at Indiana University, an Adjunct Instructor at Ivy Tech State College in Indiana, a Lecturer at Washburn University in Topeka, Kansas, and an Adjunct Instructor at Ohio Dominican University.
