TEAM MEMBER

Lindsey Marie Panes is a Master of Arts Graduate Student in Media, Culture, and Communication at New York University. She also received her Bachelor’s in Sociology from Rutgers University. Lindsey loves learning and teaching about culture and cognition, as well as their relation to media, technology, and the press. Her other research interests include self-presentation, interventions, social change, politics, storytelling, climate change, fashion, and all things trivial and social.

She is eager to research more about the development of diverse points of view of people and investigate what shaped them. Her interest lies in tracing the rationale underlying the affinity for certain ideologies, as she is curious to understand why these beliefs make sense to individuals. Lindsey hopes that this will give more context and insight into her questions about diverse realities and cognitive biases, especially in the realm of mis- and disinformation.

Furthermore, she recently joined DAKILA, a Philippine non-profit organization, as a researcher and strategist. In this role, she contributes to developing effective narrative frameworks that advocate for social justice and drive action through various creative mediums, including arts, media, and popular culture.

In her free time, Lindsey loves spending time with family and her dog Áyla.
