My name is Alexis Romero Walker. I am an Assistant Professor of Communications and Media at Manhattanville College. I received my PhD from the University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill in the School of Journalism and Media. My research focuses on how we can make media and communications programs in higher education more equitable through the content we have students engage with, and how we teach that content by using a critical media literacy perspective. I am particularly interested in the ways in which we can adjust how skills courses are taught. 

My research interests are: Critical Media Literacy Education; Decolonizing Education; Diversity & Inclusion; Media Pedagogies; Feminist Theory; Queer Theory; Critical Race Theory; Film Theory; Qualitative Methods; Strategic Communication; and Social Media Research.
