Tina Benigno, PhD

Research and Interests

My research interests include cinema and media studies, youth, girlhood, care, relationships, culture, qualitative research, feminism, policy work, young people's views on socio-political issues and (alternative) spirituality, Canadian girlhood in film & TV, pedagogy, psychology, speculative fiction, and healthcare/medical humanities. 

When I'm not working I enjoy running, spending time with friends, family and my dogs, watching shows (and some sports), visiting coffee shops, social media, concerts, indoor cycling, pickleball, baking, and travelling.
