Journal Editor

Thomas Jay Harris Regents Professor in Hispanic & International Communication, College of Media & Communication, Texas Tech University. I am a board member and co-organizer of the 7th Hispanic/Latino Media & Marketing International Conference, in February 2019, along with Julián Rodríguez at U.T. Arlington.

My research focuses on international communication, Hispanic/Latinx-oriented media in the U.S., and Hispanic/Latinx health communication. I study how language, culture and economics interact in national, regional and global media markets. As a member of the Lubbock Scapes Collective, a cross-disciplinary research and creativity group, I collaborate in endeavors to understand and conceptualize Lubbock, the South Plains and the Permian Basin regions in new ways. I am also working with colleagues on research related to immigration narratives, Hispanic/Latinx gaming, and impacts of the the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2016 I published a book that examines the historical development of Spanish-language television in the U.S. (http://url.ie/z2dh)
