Biography

Hello! My name is Miranda McCreary (she/her/hers) and though technically not born here, I consider Colorado home. I am thrilled to be pursuing a PhD here at CSU, where I have the opportunity to learn from brilliant scholars, teach transformative material in undergraduate courses, and serve as part of the ACT Human Rights Film Festival programming corps leadership team.

My research interests focus on the intersections of rhetoric of materiality, decolonial feminist theory, and critical media studies. In this research, I find intersectional feminist, phenomenological, and critical/cultural theoretical lenses incredibly useful for better understanding not only the entanglements of the rhetorical nature of the material world, power, and embodiment, but also the implications and potential of these interrelated elements for individual and collective existence.
