Tina Benigno, PhD
Research and Interests
My research interests include young people’s media and cultures, care, power and agency in narrative media, interdisciplinary pedagogy and humanities education, qualitative research, close textual and formal analysis, audiences and reception, girlhood, psychology and sociocultural contexts, narrative medicine, and healthcare humanities.
When I'm not working, I enjoy running, spending time with friends, family and my dogs, watching shows, visiting coffee shops, social media, concerts, meeting new people, baking, indoor cycling, pickleball, going to the cinema, taking photos, and travelling.
