Associate Professor in Dept. of Communication Studies at TCU. I examine how gender, race, and partisanship intersect and affect candidate communication, especially social media strategies, as well as electoral news coverage.
Great work by Kelly Eblen on locker rooms being a place for male vulnerability.

“Defend the Brand” in TX high school football suggests the masculinity of the sport is somehow in jeopardy. Author notes we often hear of sports as “turnings boys into men” but that is rarely, if ever, applied to girls/women. #NCA2025

Paper examining news coverage of Olympic boxer Khelif. They find right-leaning news emphasized the idea that strong women “don’t fit” in women’s sports. Umm, pretty sure all women athletes are, ya know, strong. 🤷🏻‍♀️

This article talks about the lack of restrooms for women in state legislature buildings on floors for chambers *and* public galleries. Women weren’t built into the democratic architecture as ones in power or to witness those in power. Still fighting for representation.

Love that folks like @ryanwalterssupt.bsky.social are so worried about liberal indoctrination in college but have no qualms about Christian-centric indoctrination of 2nd graders. theconversation.com/oklahomas-su...

Was not expecting this when I went out for a jog. Hypermasculinizing your strong man prez to make the personality fit the appearance.

Not a button but this one is for a candidate in Oklahoma and has various home games on the back—I guess he thought you may keep it longer that way.

My parents found a big bag of political buttons at a garage sale, and it is literally the gift that keeps on giving!

One advisee brought me back coffee from Mexico, another advisee brought some from Colombia, and @rainer.sigwald.org brought some from a conference in Prague (Laura Coffee). This is the good place.

(At least I hope so; I’ve never had any of these.)
