Kevin DolanI received a B.A. in English literature at Montana State University at Bozeman and an M.A. in American studies from The University of New Mexico. I worked as a reporter and editor at daily newspapers for 16 years, the last nine as a page designer and copy editor at The Santa Fe New Mexican. I also led a redesign of The New Mexican during breaks while doing my Ph.D. program here. The redesign was launched in fall 2005. My research interests include cultural and critical studies and race and ethnic studies, and more specifically the ways the news media protect and bolster the status quo, particularly what I call the incumbency of whiteness. I have presented papers at UIUC's 2003 Latinidad conference, The University of New Mexico's 2003 Communication and Culture conference and the Crossroads in Cultural Studies 2004 conference. Publications include "Blinded by 'objectivity': How news conventions caused journalists to miss the real story in the 'Our Lady' controversy in Santa Fe," published in the August 2005 issue of Journalism: Theory, Practice and Criticism. 6(3): 379–396; and "Lessons from Jasper: How a White Father's Unimaginable Imaginary Conversations with His Black Daughter Shine a Light on Whiteness," in Norman K. Denzin (Ed.), Studies in Symbolic Interaction (Vol. 28): 121-126. Oxford: Elsevier. Journalism links
