Welcome to my homepage!
I’m a Ph.D. Candidate in Mass Communications at the School of Journalism & Mass Communication, University of Wisconsin-Madison. My research centers on the intersection of political communication (especially discussion of controversial issues), new technologies and political and civic participation. During the study of civic practices such as blood donation my research has also evolved towards connecting community and health-related issues.
In the fall of 2011, I will be joining the faculty of the Department of Communication at the University of Illinois-Chicago as an Assistant Professor.
I was raised in Catalonia, a warm, European region in the northeast of Spain. In the middle of college, I stopped over in Denmark, where I then lived for seven years. In the middle of my stay in Scandinavia, I lived in Wales and Nicaragua as well. After finishing my Candidatus in Denmark, and a short stay in Australia, I set foot in the Midwestern United States, where I’ve been since. Can you guess where the pictures are from? Enjoy your visit!
