LARISSA HUGENTOBLER
For five years, I worked as a researcher and lecturer at the Department of Communication and Media Research (IKMZ) at the University of Zurich.
For my PhD, I studied individuals' interactions with physical memorials to Dr. Martin Luther King Junior in the digital age, which you can learn more about here.
I continue to teach seminars and lectures at the IKMZ focusing on gender in online content creation and qualitative research methods.
