Maria Bose

Maria Bose serves as Assistant Professor of Global Studies at Providence College, where she investigates the intersections of digital media, race, and global cultural dynamics. Her research critically engages with media representations of power structures and alternative futures through contemporary technology and cinema.

Her academic foundation includes:

• Ph.D. in English, University of California Irvine (2017), specializing in Race Writing in the Internet Age
• M.A. in English, University of California Irvine (2014)
• B.A. in English, Stanford University (2006)

Dr. Bose's research program examines how digital platforms mediate racial recognition politics, analyzes cinematic projections of global futures in Chinese cinema, and investigates capitalist realism in video games and tech corporations. Current projects explore deglobalization's media manifestations and Sony's cross-media strategies in gaming.

Her recent publications reveal consistent engagement with media forms as critical lenses for global power dynamics, featuring analyses of digital agents in postrace fiction, Asian Century narratives in cinema, and corporate manifestations of capitalist realism through platforms like Amazon and Microsoft.

As an active researcher, she manages seven current grants including the Research Summer Scholar Award for "Deglobalization and its Mediaforms" and the Research Collaborative Interdisciplinary Scholarship Award for "The PlayStation 4: Cinematic Games and Sony's Cross-Media Gambit." She also received the Elevate Your Teaching Award to enhance pedagogical approaches in global studies.
