Bambi Haggins is an assistant professor with Screen Arts & Cultures. Haggins, whose works focuses on television and cultural studies, received her doctorate in Film and Television Critical Studies from UCLA in the summer of 2000. Haggins is currently preparing her dissertation, "The American Dream By Any Means Necessary: Television Lay Theories from Urban Suburbia," for book publication, as well as co-editing special television issues of Emergences: Journal for the Study of Media and Composite Cultures with John T. Caldwell. In addition, Haggins hopes to also begin writing with a camera-engaging in video discourse--by revisiting the Homefront Study, which was the centerpeice of her dissertation. Haggins hopes to re-establish contact and dialogue with the study's participants, whose original observations generated the body of lay theories which acted as the basis for looking at the interplay between television spectatorship, the American Dream and identity formation. back |
