Teresa Correa is associate professor in the School of Communication at Diego Portales University, Chile, and Tinker Visiting Professor 2018-2019 in the UW-Madison’s Department of Gender and Women’s Studies and Latin American, Caribbean and Iberian Studies Program (LACIS). Her research focuses on three lines of inquiry: (1) digital inequality and the intersection of gender, class, race, rurality and family dynamics, (2) media sociology and the representation of gender and minorities; and (3) health communication, particularly media and household interactions about health-related decisions. Her research –which has been published in more than 30 journal articles and book chapters– has been funded by the nationally-competitive National Science and Technology Development Fund, the International Development Research Centre from Canada, National Fund for the Study of Pluralism in the Media System and the American Association of Family and Consumer Science.
She has also received numerous awards including top-papers in communication conferences and the American Association of University Women Fellowship. During her time as Tinker Visiting Professor, she teaches the class “Women, gender and digital media in global perspective.”
