Annasimone Mikhail is originally from Cleveland, Ohio and holds a B.A. in Psychology and Criminology from The Ohio State University. Her academically diverse undergraduate experience has allowed her to take initial steps in exploring a range of social issues and inequalities, particularly within the realm of racial and gender discrimination. This foundation, combined with her long-held fascination with film and media in general, has led her to pursue an MA in Media Studies at the University of Texas.
During her time here, Annasimone hopes to delve into the complexities of minority and gender representation within popular forms of media (especially reality television) and the accompanying effects on self-perception and interpersonal communication. Being a first-generation American herself, she also seeks to illuminate this subgroup’s unique relationship with media as a social learning tool in navigating questions of citizenship and identity.
She welcomes any opportunity to discuss her latest read or film viewing and enjoys playlist curation and going to concerts.
