Shawn Van Valkenburgh is a Project Associate at USC’s Norman Lear Center. He earned his Ph.D. in Sociology at the University of California, Santa Barbara where he used mixed methods to research culture, misogyny, and social media.

The Norman Lear Center's Media Impact Project researches how entertainment and news influence our thoughts, attitudes, beliefs, knowledge and actions. We work with researchers, the film and TV industry, nonprofits, and news organizations, and share our research with the public. We are part of the University of Southern California's Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism.
