Mohan's Blogs

Here's a list of my blogs. These blogs are built mostly around the four areas that I write and teach on. My hope is that this will be a space for asking questions that ultimately connect with activism.

MacArthur digital media

Over the last year, I have been working with Graham Bodie and Ambar Basu on a digital divide and ethnicity project supported by MacArthur Foundation. On this blog, I have discussed the role of online health activism among the nation's youth.

Critical Thoughts

On this blog, I discuss my thoughts on critical theory, globalization politics and communication research. Of particular interest here are the roles of culture and structure in marginalization.

Culture-centered approach

Resisting the dominant articulations of what it means to engage in health communication, the culture-centered approach offers an alternative by suggesting the need to engage in dialogue with voices of cultural members. This blog discusses theoretical ferments and methodological questions around the culture-centered approach.

Digital voices

This blog discusses my research on the digital divide, health information literacy, health orientation, and digital activism. In this line of work, I examine the role of digital media in fostering spaces of social change that challenge the unequal structures underlying the healthcare disparities
