I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Communication and Media Studies at Fordham University. My research investigates the impacts of globalization, storytelling and communication technology in shaping contemporary communities and networked movements for social change. Much of my work focuses on the challenges and possibilities of environmental sustainability in the digital age, with particular attention granted to local and global food systems. My first book, More Than Just Food: Food Justice and Community Change, was published in 2016 by the University of California Press.
