Jason Roberts
JasonRoberts2010@u.northwestern.edu
Jason, a 7th-year PhD candidate in the Screen Cultures program in the Department of Radio/TV/Film, grew up in Arizona, attended college in Colorado, and received an MA in Film Studies from Emory University in Atlanta. His dissertation concerns the rhetoric and practice of film criticism during moments of major technological change, such as the coming of sound and the emergence of home video technologies. When he is not watching movies, he can usually be found hanging out with his fiancee, Elizabeth, or parked in front of the television, consuming more college football than a doctor would recommend.
