Kevin Glynn is an interdisciplinary scholar whose work focuses on cultural, conjunctural, and media theory and analysis. His research and teaching are situated at the intersection of cultural studies, media studies, and critical/cultural geographies, and are centrally concerned with the media-rich cultural environments of contemporary everyday life; with the cultural and spatial politics of media practices, forms, and discourses; and with the investigation, theorization and critical analysis of popular cultures and media as sites of discursive activity, terrains of political contestation, and spaces of identity production. The core of his published scholarship examines relationships between popular, media, and political cultures of the Americas. He received his Ph.D. from the Media & Cultural Studies program in the Department of Communication Arts at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and has taught in departments of media, communication and cultural studies, American studies, and geography at universities in the US, New Zealand and the UK.
