Jessica Baldwin-Philippi

I’m Jesse Baldwin-Philippi, an Assistant Professor of New Media at Fordham University and Graduate Director of our Public Media MA program. My research interests lie at the intersection of political communication, civic media, science and technology studies, and rhetoric, and I recently authored the book Using Technology, Building Democracy: Digital Campaigning and the Construction of Citizenship. My work is fundamentally concerned with how engagement with new technologies can restructure forms of political participation and ideas about citizenship, and I’ve previously worked with the Engagement Lab at Emerson College and the City of Boston’s Mayor’s Office and New Urban Mechanics.
