Dr. Alicia Kozma

 

Dr. Kozma is a pedagogue, researcher, and writer who specializes in the everyday work of media.

Researching, teaching, and curating in higher education since 2007, Dr. Kozma combines a practical focus on media labor with critical inquiry to understand how media industries work, who works in them, and how the labor of media workers is constructed. Dr. Kozma is intimately concerned with the role of women laborers, their hiring and employment conditions, and the industrial strictures that have led to historically inequality, specifically in film and television workspaces. She has a secondary interest in gender, bodies, and horror.

Kozma is former Chair and Assistant Professor of Communication and Media Studies at Washington College.
