First and foremost, my committee members Thomas Schatz and Alisa Perren, who with incisive notes have molded my disparate web of ideas into a legible, linear thesis. My fellow graduate students, who have kept me sane during the COVID-19 pandemic with virtual happy hours and (socially distant) meetups in the park serving as brief respites from the most trying of academic years. In addition, I am grateful to the University of Texas at Austin and the department of Radio-Television-Film in the Moody College of Communications for all of the resources and opportunities they have provided to me. Finally, my parents, who have enough pride on my behalf to trump my doubts. Here’s hoping they don’t find these chapters too mind-numbingly dull.
