Stavroula Kalogeras, PhD

I teach undergraduate and graduate courses in media, marketing and communication studies in both seated and online environments. I am the author of two books and several journal publications. My research  consists of transmedia storytelling as a pedagogy and a way of seeking meaning and purpose in life. I cross the boundaries between art, science, faith, and fiction in search of truth.

​

In addition to teaching, research and consulting, I am enthralled by the exploration of narrative identity. I am interested in how narratives bring about emotional engagement and influence the way we teach and learn. My aspiration is for every learner to be engaged in the learning process.

​

I have written three feature length screenplays as part of my practice-based research: The Goddess Within (romantic dramedy), which won the Orson Welles Award from the California Film Awards, Timescape (scifi action thriller) and Silver Fox (romantic comedy).

​

My book, Transmedia Storytelling and the New Era of Media Convergence in Higher Education brings together a lifetime of experience in media and education – the first book of its kind to unite Hollywood and academia – which may very well be the new Ivy League.
