About Dr. Good:

After Dr. Good earned her Ph.D. in Communication at Stanford University in 1986, she served as a member of the Communication faculty at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst for three years before joining the PSU faculty in 1989. She retired in 2008. Her work within media studies has focused on the politics of the image and the central relationship between power and communication. Dr. Good’s interests include the influence of photography on the history of media studies, the role of the image in collective memory, empowering uses of media, and the intersection of art and media criticism. She has published and presented essays on issues of power, and edited a book series, Critical Studies in Communication, for Hampton Press. She is also a documentary photographer. Her photographs appeared in both the U.S. and Chinese editions of the book, The Portland Edge.
