Teaching interests
Cathy teaches in the interdisciplinary Politics, Economies & Communication major in the School of Media & Communication. The major was developed from her research at the forefront of cultural economy, political analysis, and genealogies of communication. It focuses on the integral role played by communication technologies, actors, institutions, and rhetorics in the conduct of politics and economic life. The overarching theme of the major and of their research is how populations of different kinds are governed, and the formative role of media and communication technologies as part of this broad government.
Cathy is a Category 1 supervisor for 8 research postgraduates.
