Selena Dickey is an instructor in the Department of Communication Studies at Furman University. Her research and teaching bring together media industry studies, communication policy and regulation, and infrastructure studies to explore the historical and geographic development of our media systems. Currently, she is examining early television distribution infrastructures (antennas, cables, satellites) and how key stakeholders deployed and made sense of these sociotechnical systems in place-specific ways. She has authored and co-authored articles appearing in Flow, Telecommunication Policy, and Journal of Cinema and Media Studies (forthcoming).
Selena joined the Furman faculty in Fall 2021. Prior to that, she completed her doctoral research at the University of Texas at Austin and worked as a senior writing center consultant and English composition instructor at the University of Colorado Denver.
