Rebecca joined Te Kura Whakapāho as part of the 2019 Eke Tangaroa cohort. Now a senior lecturer in the Critical Media Studies Department, she teaches primarily on the common first-year courses, as well as the faculty course Mahitahi | Collaborative Practices. Her PhD studied four global formats in the reality television genre, particularly hybrid characteristics linking with soap-opera, liveness, regionality, and digital engagement. You’ll often find her referring to Taylor Swift, Star Wars and the Kardashians to explain theory in the classroom, while sharing the latest antics of her two cats.
