Educator. PARTNER. FATHER. ACTIVIST
My research and writing focus on representations of various groups in the mass media and popular culture and the impact of mass media imagery on audience members. In addition, I am interested in exploring media representation of masculinities in general, and Black masculinities specifically. I am very fortunate to contribute to scholarship in communication, popular culture, and media. Below are some peer-reviewed journal articles and book chapters. When available, there are links (in red) of each item as a PDF. If you do not see a link, please email me (DStamps@Bentley.edu) and I will send you a copy.
