Megan Wood

Megan Wood is an Assistant Professor of Communication and Culture at Ohio Northern University in the Communication and Media Studies program. She researches, teaches, and writes broadly about matters of identity, inequality, and U.S. political culture. 

Her book-in-progress, Dispatches from the Interregnum: Essays on Corporate Power and U.S. Political Culture, probes the implications of corporate empowerment for political identity and the domain of civic practice in the United States through the lens of popular culture.

Wood also writes regularly on the histories and responsibilities of the practice of cultural studies and on teaching cultural studies, and is actively conspiring with others to build better, accessible spaces for enabling the kinds of transdisciplinary, collaborative work required for effectively facing the difficulties of our historical present.
