Dr. Carolyn Fortuna is a teacher researcher at Rhode Island College, where she infuses multigenre, multimodal, and transcultural instruction with her students in the Educational Studies and Gender & Women’s Studies departments.

She has e-published a book titled Sports and Media Pop Culture and has designed two curricula: Sports, Popular Culture, and Literature and Gender and Sport.

More than anything, Carolyn believes that people from diverging viewpoints can work together to better understand the power and place of digital and media learning and literacy in today’s society.
