Introduction
Dr. CastaƱeda received her Ph.D. in Communication at UC San Diego (2000), but also studied with faculty in Ethnic Studies, Sociology, History and Compartive Literature. Consequently, she approaches research and teaching with an interdisciplinary, historical, and critical lens. She is currently a professor in the Department of Communication at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and her research interests include the study of digital media and telecommunication policy, Latina/ethnic media studies, and global communications. Dr. CastaƱeda's work promotes "engaged scholarship" and aims to address inequality, power, community voices, and the role of intersectionalities in shaping media and cultural spaces.
