Rachel Kulick holds a M.Ed. from Harvard University’s Graduate School of Education and is currently a doctoral candidate in Sociology at Brandeis University. Since 2004, she has served as a Research Consultant for the Center for International Media Action (CIMA), where she conducts analyses with media and cultural activist groups on the values, networking possibilities and challenges, and short term and long term goals of the media justice movement. Her research focuses on the ways in which producing independent media acts as an organizing tool within social justice work.   In 2001, she founded the ViewFinding Media Program for urban youth in Boston, MA, where she worked as a media educator for urban youth developing skills in media literacy, photography, video, and digital storytelling. Her recent publications are “Building a Media Justice and Communication Rights Movement: Recommendations, Challenges, Needs and Resources” (a 2007 report completed for CIMA) and “Reading between the Lines: Feminist Content Analysis into the 2nd Millennium,” an article co-authored with Shulamit Reinharz that was included in the 2006 Handbook of Feminist Research.
