SOCY @ VCU Welcomes Dr. Tara Stamm to our faculty!!

April 7, 2015

Tara Stamm will receive her PhD in Sociology from Florida State University in May 2015!  She also holds a BA in Literature, an MA in Practical Philosophy and Applied Ethics and an MS in Sociology.  Her dissertation spotlights the experiences and depictions of young mothers, the importance of emerging mixed-methodological techniques, and intersections between gender, education, and media in popular culture.  Her additional research projects use content analysis to examine depictions of social movement activists from 1970 to present and the Neo-liberal discourse of millennial generation feminists.  She will be teaching courses on adolescence, media and methods. She will move to Richmond this summer from Tallahassee with her husband, two toddlers and a geriatric dog.  For more information on Tara, check out her website!
