Divya C. McMillin (Ph.D. 1998, Indiana University) is associate professor of international communication and cultural studies in the Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences Program at the University of Washington, Tacoma.
McMillin is a widely published and well-traveled scholar. Her articles on media globalization and television reception have appeared in the Journal of Communication, International Journal of Cultural Studies, Continuum: Journal of Media and Cultural Studies, Indian Journal of Gender Studies, Economic and Political Weekly, and the International Communication Bulletin .
Her book International Media Studies (2007, Blackwell Publishing) is a postcolonial critique of research in international communication.
McMillin’s empirical analyses, spanning over a decade, of global, national, and local television reception by urban and rural audiences in India, have informed her critical commentaries on the politics of gender and power in ethnographic fieldwork. Her travels in North and South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and New Zealand, ground her research and teaching on the cultural implications of media globalization.
She is currently writing her second book tentatively titled Mediated Identities: Television, Globalization, and Youth Cultures (Peter Lang Publishing).
