Interests:

My research interests are at the intersection of culture, social interaction, and the media. I study both media depictions of interaction and interaction in everyday life.  Most recently, I studied Israeli call-in radio and am now expanding my work to U.S. political talk radio, including the "notorious" Rush Limbaugh.  I am also interested in television (e.g. The Daily Show with Jon Stewart) and other arenas of public participation, such as internet commentary and new call-in formats.
