Global Perspectives in Communication & Cultural Governance
About
Dr. Sarah Ganter
My name is Sarah Anne Ganter. I am an Associate Professor at the School of Communication, Simon Fraser University in Vancouver. I am also a Research Associate at the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism, University of Oxford, where I worked as research fellow. Before that I worked as Junior Researcher at the Department of Communication at the University of Vienna, Austria, where I also successfully accomplished my Phd studies in Communication and Journalism (2017). Born and rooted in Southern Germany, I have spent several years studying, working and conducting research in South America, Austria and the UK. Like myself, my research is shaped by transnational currents.
I am excited about researching media and digital (policy) transformations and their embedding into socio-cultural, economic and political, as well as everyday – life settings. My work is influenced by a cosmopolitan approach to academic work, integrating scholarly work from different cultural, linguistic and geographical academic settings.
