Bren Murphy, associate professor of communication studies and women’s studies at Loyola University, Chicago will discuss “Veiled Threats: The Image of Women Religious in U.S. Popular Culture?” at 7 p.m., Wednesday, Feb. 17 in the Jepson Center’s Wolff Auditorium at Gonzaga University.  The lecture, which is free and open to the public, is part of the “Thinking Out Loud with Visiting Scholar In-Residence” series sponsored by Gonzaga’s Master of Arts in Communication and Leadership Studies program and the Gonzaga School of Professional Studies.  In this talk, Murphy will share and discuss parts of her new documentary film, “A Question of Habit,” and explore questions regarding the role of leadership. Murphy is interested in the representation of women in popular culture and issues of feminism through film.  Murphy examines the communication components of the “glass ceiling”; communication ethics; mass media and gender socialization; popular culture and the mediation of history. She examines these topics from a perspective of rhetorical and critical theory.
