A big thank you to all my new subscribers 🌻🤓
Welcome to the flock! Thank you for subscribing! A brief intro to my work & I 👩🏻🏫🐥
Big thank you and welcome to all my new (and OG) subscribers!
My name is Dr. Bernadette "bird" Bowen (she/they/Dr.) and I am a non-binary neuroqueer visiting assistant professor and critical media ecologist. My background is in Sociology, masters is in Communication, I publish poetry, earned a PhD in Media and Communication, and a graduate level Women, Gender, Sexualities Studies certificate. My research specialities / publications / poetry are listed in my bio.
Alongside a handful of colleagues since 2019, I have helped spearhead a critical feminist wave of media ecology. I debuted my approach to critical media ecology in my dissertation this last February 2022 called: “From the Boardroom to the Bedroom: Sexual Ecologies in the Algorithmic Age” (link to a free copy in my bio).
️I also have a podcast about critical media ecological insights called “Dr. bird’s eye view” in the works. This newsletter is a space where all that and more converges in what I’m calling the triple A (Art, Activism, Academia) of the COVID era envirusment!
As many of you know, I have also begun documenting my late-in-life realized autism unmasking journey across many of my platforms (TikTok, Instagram, Twitter, etc.). So, stay tuned as that process continues and collides with my critical media ecology work!
Thank you again for joining the Dr. bird’s eye view flock 🐣 I invite you to take a peek at the posts I’ve made here lately, and if you haven’t already, follow my new Insta📱
Stay tuned!
In virtual solidarity,
Dr. bird
