Yasemin Beykont

Hi! I am a 3rd year Ph.D. candidate in the Donald P. Bellisario College of Communications at The Pennsylvania State University.

My research interests include advertising criticism, the critical political economy of media, meme studies, and popular culture. I am particularly interested in exploring and exposing the ways that memes are appropriated for advertising to serve capitalist interests.

You can access my CV and learn about me and my research.
