Giuliana Monteverde serves as a Lecturer in Communication at Ulster University's School of Communication and Media within the Faculty of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences, based at Jordanstown Campus in Newtownabbey, United Kingdom. Her research examines the nexus of media, politics, and identity in contemporary culture.
Her scholarly expertise centers on critical media analysis of postfeminist neoliberalism, Brexit-Trump era politics, television studies, and humor. Monteverde investigates how media representations shape societal understandings of gender, race, and power through frameworks like complicity in feminist discourse and reality TV's cultural impact. Her work consistently engages with 21st-century political movements and popular culture phenomena.
Recent publications reveal a trajectory analyzing media's role in political upheaval, with emphasis on celebrity culture (Khloé Kardashian's Revenge Body), horror media's relationship to fear politics, and protest movements during Brexit-Trump eras. This body of work demonstrates interdisciplinary engagement across media studies, cultural criticism, and political communication.
Her recognition includes:
- Best Paper Published, Ulster University Postgraduate Research Awards (2016)
Monteverde actively mentors emerging scholars as primary supervisor for PhD researchers Lauren Johnson and Clodagh McAllister within the School of Communication and Media, contributing to the next generation of media studies scholarship through doctoral supervision and collaborative research projects.
