STUDENT EVALUATIONS

“She was very helpful, and clear even though there was many demands. Very clear and always got back to emails.”

Hello and welcome to my personal website.

My name is Dr. Bernadette "bird" Bowen. My background is in Sociology, and my masters is in Communication. Most recently, I publish poetry, earned a PhD in Media and Communication, and a BGSU Women, Gender, Sexualities Studies certificate.

My interests intersect the broad fields of critical and feminist theories, with an eye towards the ideological struggle between institutions, gender, and media ecology.

Alongside a handful of colleagues since 2019, I have helped spearhead a critical feminist wave of media ecology that incorporates cultural studies, further exemplifying my personal critical media ecological framework within my dissertation project entitled "From the Boardroom to the Bedroom: Understanding Sexual Ecologies in the Algorithmic Age”, a critical feminist and media ecological analysis of biomimetic sextech device advertisements marketed to vulva-havers.


Please feel free to click and explore around my website. There's much to see.
