Hola! I am an Assistant Professor of Online Journalism and New Media at
the University of Hawaii at Manoa's
School of Communications.
Before this, I was an Assistant Professor of Journalism at Shaw
University. You can email me at: lillie@hawaii.edu.
A few years back, I was a Park Doctoral Fellow at the School
of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University
of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Use the links on this page to access
my vita, recent papers, and the web sites of some institutions that I
have been involved with. Please note that many aspects of this site are
not up to date.
I mostly teach multiplatform reporting at the introductory
and advanced
levels with a focus on online journalism practices and production.I
started the UH Today web
site, which my students recreate every semester to publish print
articles, slideshows and videos.
My dissertation addresses the cultural contingencies and commercial
narratives of mobile technologies, such as advanced cell phones, using
critical theory and qualitative methods. Mobile marketing campaigns
increasingly depict life in the mobile information society as a world
in which mobile and ubiquitous information and communication technologies
offer users enhanced experiences and agency in everyday life. Citizenship
as consumption is typically stressed over political action and cultural
expression.
I am the Managing Editor for the new online peer-reviewed journal, NMEDIAC:
The Journal of New Media & Culture.
Here is a collection of some of my older
research papers.
Before returning to graduate school, I was a web developer in North Carolina's
Research Triangle Park for three years full-time and several years part-time
after that. Here are some sites that I have designed by myself or as part
of a team:
UH Today
The Shaw Student Newspaper
NMEDIAC
AAPEX
The Automotive Hall of Fame, Dearborne, MI
Drive Safer America!
MISG Inc.
MEMA Financial Services Group
