Biography
“In my classes, students think about history, economics, politics, and culture so we can question and critique the systems and structures that shape our media and world.”
Dr. Guldin earned her PhD in Communication and Media Studies from the School of Journalism and Communication at the University of Oregon. Her research interests include critical media literacy education and popular culture. She uses a critical cultural approach to understand media phenomena through the theoretical frameworks of critical political economy of media and Critical Race Theory. Her most recent works address news literacy, ecomedia literacy, and journalistic learning.
Dr. Guldin’s teaching experience is well-rounded and diverse. She has taught a range of classes, from Introductory Rhetoric to Fact or Fiction. In additional, she has taught elementary schoolers, middle schoolers, undergraduates, and graduate students. In her courses, Dr. Guldin applies approaches and practices of critical pedagogy to support student-centered learning and personal growth.
Outside of work, Dr. Guldin loves watching good movies and trash TV (and some good TV, too), baking, getting outdoors, walking while listening to audiobooks, and exploring local festivals and events.
