Meet Dr. Carlos Jimenez
Carlos Jimenez, PhD
Assistant Professor
Media, Film, and Journalism Studies
Carlos' research broadly examines the role of media (mobile phones, social media, community radio, and automation) in the everyday lives of low-wage immigrant workers. In California he helped farmworkers build a community radio station from the ground up. You can tune in to Radio Indígena mixteco.org/radio. His research in Denver currently focuses on the role of media technology in the everyday lives of day laborers and among marginalized youth.
"...So it was really the long game. Ten years of education to finally do what I want to do."
