Assistant Research Professor Lynn Schofield Clark

Assistant Research Professor Lynn Schofield Clark taught Media & Public Culture. She created a Web page for the course and developed it on the theme of Media, Democracy and Youth Culture. The site is at www.colorado.edu/journalism/courses/2011.

Oxford University Press published her first independent book, "From Angels to Aliens: Teenagers, the Media, and the Supernatural." The book is about how young people discuss popular culture's stories of the supernatural in relation to their religious or spiritual identity.

Clark was interviewed about the book and about the film "Matrix: Reloaded" for PBS' May 24 "Religion and Ethics NewsWeekly" program and by the Dallas Morning News. She also had articles published in the Journal of Communication and New Media & Society.

"I continue to serve as director of the Teens and the New Media @ Home project and co-investigator on the Symbolism, Meaning and the New Media @ Home project, and I worked with doctoral student and Web designer Christof Demont-Heinrich to create the online Resource Center for Media, Religion and Culture (www.mediareligion.org) as a part of the School's Center for Mass Media Research," she said.
