Dr. Federica Fornaciari

As Associate Professor in the Strategic Communications programs at National University, I develop and teach a variety of graduate and undergraduate online courses including Interpersonal Communication, Communication in the Global Environment, Interactive Storytelling, Emerging Interactive Media, Capstone Project, and Honors Thesis. I help students to refine the plans for their career path and best tailor the coursework to their needs.

Combining creative work and scholarship in media studies/media effects, social media, representation, equality, political communication, privacy, and technology, I provide students with the theoretical and practical toolkits necessary to unpack the complexity of a multifaceted communication environment.
