米奇Stellavato, PhD, joined the CMU faculty in 2020. Her scholarly focus has been on oral history 和 digital storytelling, particularly within communities often overlooked by mainstream outlets, 比如所有年龄段的创伤幸存者, practitioners within the body modification community 和 elders.
She is a trained facilitator with Story Center (previously known as the Center for Digital Storytelling) 和 worked at the Trauma Healing Project in Eugene, 俄勒冈州, incorporating digital storytelling into healing processes with trauma survivors. Stellavato led numerous workshops with incarcerated youth, 有残疾的成年人, 拉丁裔移民青年, 暴力的幸存者和无家可归的人.
In another, pre-academic life, Stellavato worked for 地球母亲新闻, Ms. 和 美国医疗 magazines as an editor, photo editor, researcher 和 proofreader. She has traveled extensively through Europe, the U.S.她带着相机来到美国、埃及和英国.
With a focus on portraiture, Stellavato has been taking photos professionally since 1992. She became the documentary photographer 和 media specialist for the 公平和包容司 at the University of 俄勒冈州 in 2012. She has had multiple photos published 和 multimedia packages published in magazines 和 online outlets. 斯特拉瓦托一直在教授新闻摄影, 2009年以来的媒体素养和媒体史, 以及2011年以来的数字化叙事.
Stellavato is a practitioner of Paulo Freire’s framework for promoting critical consciousness as applied to educational praxis. She sees community-based connections 和 mentorship as avenues for opening a genuine dialogue that places university activism 和 insights into a contextual framework that might benefit those a university serves. Her instruction grows from this belief that the individual voice, 它有很多表达方式, is an irreducible part of what it means to be human; the facilitation of individual stories is part of her life’s work.
除了教新闻摄影, Stellavato introduces CMU students to media literacy in Mass Media 110, which is a survey of the wide field of mass communication. Documentary photography 和 portraiture are Stellavato’s first loves 和, in the great hope of kindling the same flame in others, she started 和 continues to advise the CMU Photo Club.
