EMILY A. MENDELSON

Hi, I'm Emily, a PhD Candidate at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and co-managing editor for the Sex and Pyschology blog and podcast. Prior to my current program, I earned my BA in Business Analytics at Binghamton University and my MA in Communication at Baylor University.

My research is concerned with topics relevant to interpersonal communication, health, and mediated communication technologies. I am particularly interested in the myriad ways communication technologies affect our intimate lives, especially as it relates to the exchange of sexual consent and how we make sense of the content we consume about romantic relationships online. 

My published work can be found in avenues such as Communication Research, New Media & Society, Social Media + Society, Health Communication, and The International Journal of Cultural Studies. For any questions about my work, collaboration requests, or other inquiries, please email me at emilyamendelson@gmail.com.
