Carolina Estrada-Gutsche

Carolina Estrada-Gutsche is a Visiting Lecturer at Florida Atlantic University's School of Communication and Multimedia Studies, where she teaches courses including Gender and Television, Minorities and the Media, and Media Criticism. She is anticipated to complete her PhD in Media and Cultural Studies at Lancaster University (UK) in 2023, following a Master's in Gender and Women Studies and Sociology.

Her research focuses on the representation of women in 'Narco Novelas' (televised drug trafficking series) and the eroticization of news coverage of sex crimes. She has contributed to Journalism Practice and the book News of Baltimore: Race, Rage, and the City (Routledge). Her work bridges gender studies, media analysis, and cultural critique.

Teaching emphasizes critical engagement with media's societal impact, particularly on marginalized communities. No formal grants or awards are specified, though her academic trajectory reflects sustained scholarly engagement with media representation.
