Corinne Weinstein's research employs approaches of political economy, textual analysis, and media effects to investigate the role of popular culture representations in reinforcing, negotiating, and contesting dominant ideologies related to identity, culture, and neoliberalism.
Weinstein recently earned her PhD in Communication, Information and Media from Rutgers University, upon which she received the award for Outstanding Graduating Student in Media Studies. As a PhD student, Weinstein generated a significant publication and conference participation record, including five journal publications, a book chapter in a peer-reviewed, edited volume, and a first place student paper award in the cultural and critical studies division at the AEJMC conference.
Weinstein is currently teaching the undergraduate courses Gender, Race, and Class in the Media and Media and Popular Culture, and the graduate course Media Studies: Theory and Practice.
