Vincent Doyle

Vincent Doyle has long been fascinated by the relationships among media, society, culture, politics, social movements, and public discourse. He began his university studies in political science at the University of Ottawa, where he was born, but soon gravitated towards communication, media, and cultural studies because of his interdisciplinary interests. “I study communication and media,” he says, “because it helps me to understand how we are all products of history, language, and the institutions that shape our lives, even if we are not always aware of it.” With knowledge and understanding, Prof. Doyle believes, comes the capacity to make better decisions, along with the opportunity to develop a sense of belonging and accountability to an intellectual community that nourishes our human desire to improve our lives and the world around us.

Prof. Doyle is a Fellow of the Sexuality Research Fellowship Program of the U.S. Social Science Research Council (SSRC, 2000-2001) and the recipient of two top paper awards from the International Communication Association (ICA) and a member of the editorial board of the ICA journal, Communication, Culture & Critique (2017- ).
