Charisse L'Pree Corsbie-Massay, Ph.D., examines how media affects identity, attitudes and behaviors, and how we use different media to express ourselves and connect with others. Prof. L’Pree has authored two books: \"20th Century Media and the American Psyche: A Strange Love\" (Routledge, 2021) bridges media theory, psychology and interpersonal communication to describe how our relationships with media emulate the relationships we develop with friends and romantic partners through their ability to replicate intimacy, regularity and reciprocity. \"Diversity and Satire: Laughing at Processes of Marginalization\" (Wiley, 2023) is the first textbook to explore diversity by demonstrating how satirical content can advance the discussion and change attitudes.
Robert J. Thompson is founding director of the Bleier Center for Television and Popular Culture and a Trustee Professor of Television and Popular Culture at Newhouse School of Public Communications. Thompson is the general editor of the Television and Popular Culture series published by Syracuse University Press.
