Episode Synopsis

Today's conversation with Dr. Dianne Bragg, an associate professor in the Department of Journalism and Creative Media, is enlightening, fun, and relevant.  Dr. Bragg has such an interesting path to the research she does, and she tells us all about resistance to learning instead of listening to sound bytes in the context of history, journalism and conflict.  Not only do we break down her process in conducting this type of research, we learn more about where the best BBQ can be found and we learn about her major role in teaching undergraduate and graduate students in media law and history.  Dr. Bragg DID get her Ph.D. from the University of Alabama and because the need was there and she was a fantastic candidate, she moved into a faculty position in the Department of Journalism (old name).  We also learn about her interactions with Dr. Jennings Bryant and how through his Entertainment Media course, she started down a research path that she maintains today. 
Today's conversation is SO.MUCH.FUN, and you don't want to miss it.
