About
I’m a Ph.D. candidate in the Media, Technology & Society program in the School of Communication at Northwestern University. My advisor is Jim Ettema. I grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio, and (for the most part) I’ve lived in Chicago since I started college. I graduated from Loyola University Chicago in 2001 with a B.S. in anthropology and minors in photography and English. I studied abroad in Rome, Italy for one semester (Spring 1999), and Quepos, Costa Rica for a summer (2000). I finished the masters program in communication at UIC in 2006. I’ve held various jobs, including ethnographic research assistant at a technology consultancy, grant writer for a community organization, technical writer for an IT department, and web designer / information architect.
My email is emtrevino@gmail.com
In addition to technology and research I like cooking (mostly vegetarian), and doing things outside, like riding my bike or walking up to the roof of my building and photography. I often listen to Chicago Public Radio, ambient electronica, classical guitar, and lots of other things.
