My name is Madison Barnes-Nelson (she/her/hers) and I am a Master's student focusing on film and media studies. I received by B.A. in Communication Studies at Gonzaga University with minors in Spanish and Business Administration. My research interests include media industry studies and American politics and popular culture, in relation to issues of identity and social justice. In my free time, I enjoy playing the guitar and piano, spending time outdoors, and re-watching my favorite action film franchises.
