Neha Kamran

Neha Kamran graduated from Bryn Mawr College with a degree in English and a concentration in Creative Writing. After gaining practical experience in the world of media and marketing, she is currently a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Communication. She focuses on Public Relations, specifically in the practical context. The growing social relevance of the “social media influencer” has greatly fascinated her, and she is using qualitative research to explore what this rapidly burgeoning industry and the subsequent blurring of the line between individual influencer and organizational entity, means for the future of Public Relations research. She hopes her work will ultimately assess how social media influencers may be changing the landscape of public relations practice. In addition to her research and teaching interests, she has had many of her short stories published and win awards.
