Communication and media studies PhD candidate Ivy Fofie relocated to Eugene from Ghana, where she has already established herself as a journalist and public relations professional. It has long been her dream to become a researcher in the field of feminist media studies—and that’s exactly what she is doing at the UO. Her research focuses on the unrecognized contributions women have made to media—something she experienced firsthand working in several newsrooms prior to starting her PhD. In the future, Fofie plans to publish a book on the political economy of women’s media and to bring attention to women’s roles in media throughout the Global South.
