Catherine Phelan, Ph.D., Professor of Communication
(cwphelan@hamilton.edu) Catherine Waite Phelan, chair and professor of communication, earned a Ph.D. from the University of Illinois, with an interdisciplinary degree in communication and philosophy. Drawing on the work of Walter Ong and Marshall McLuhan, her scholarship exhibits an enduring interest in technology and society.

Recent publications address a theory of video that challenges current assumptions regarding the role of television. She has published articles in //Critical Studies in Mass Communication//, //Cultural Studies//, //Symbolic Interaction//, and //Proteus//, among others. Her recent book, titled //Mediation and the Communication Matrix//, (Peter Lang, 2003) discusses how the screen in its myriad forms has contributed to an emerging view of the self in American culture that is unique to our time.

Phelan's teaching interests include courses on media theory, the First Amendment, and technology and society.
