History

Bio: Patricia G. Lange is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the School of Cinematic Arts at the University of Southern California. She received her Ph.D. in anthropology from the University of Michigan. Her areas of interest for the digital youth project are centered around using theories from anthropology and linguistics to understand the cultural dynamics of video creation, reception, and exchange among kids and youth. She is studying sites such as YouTube as well as video blogging communities to gain insight into the communicative aspects of video sharing. Lange is exploring how the content and form of videos as well as video sharing and response practices serve as sites of identity negotiation and emerging cultural perspectives in increasingly video-mediated, online milieu. She has recently published articles in a variety of journals including: Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication, Discourse Studies, Anthropology of Work Review, First Monday, and The Scholar and Feminist Online.
