Adelboy Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Hi! I am a psychologist interested in fandom development, pop culture and LGBTI representation on media; and how those influence shaping people's behavior and national policies. I will apply for Fall 2016 but I am not sure what kind of program and/or university it's better for me. I was thinking about a Master or PhD in Media Studies. I already started my college search and I am considering The New School. In my country (I am from Latin America) I work as a university researcher and TA. I have some knowledge on Comm. Sciences and participatory culture but as I said, I don't have an undergraduate degree or proffesional experience on that field. Any suggestions?
grad_wannabe Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Sounds like Henry Jenkins at USC might be a good match. He's preeminent on fandom and audience culture.
The Pedanticist Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Having training in other (related fields) can be a huge positive so focus on that.

I checked and I think you are right. He sounds great! I also found another two professors who have interesting research topics. I'll read more about USC. Thank you!
