Scott Krzych
Assistant Professor
My teaching and research focuses on theoretical approaches to media and culture, with an emphasis on the relation between technology and ideology. My current research is divided into two separate projects. The first is a manuscript examining the hysterical discourse of contemporary conservative media, including chapters on Citizens United documentaries, Glenn Beck and Fox News, and Internet sites like the Drudge Report. The second project, The World in Miniature, studies such new media phenomena as tilt-shift video, Google Earth, and social network timelines through the lens of cinematic special effects.
