Biography

Judith A. Nicholson holds a Ph.D. (Communication Studies), M.A. (Media Studies), and B.A. (Communication Studies & Journalism) from Concordia University and a B.A. (English Literature) from Carleton University

Dr. Nicholson teaches courses on mobilities, nonverbal communication, human-animal communication, race and media, and research methods. Her research interests include narratives of innovation and progress associated with mediated mobilities as well as representations of race and gender in such narratives. Her research has been published in Mediascapes: New Patterns in Canadian Communication (2013; 2010), The Wireless Spectrum: The Politics, Practices and Poetics of Mobile Media (2010), Canadian Journal of Communication (2008), and Fibreculture Journal (2006). A current research project, entitled Pistols & Pixels, explores digital divides and social mobilities in the aftermath of camera-for-gun amnesties.
