Dinfin K. Mulupi
Dinfin Mulupi holds an Erasmus Mundus M.A. in Journalism, Media and Globalization from Aarhus University (Denmark) and City, University of London (United Kingdom). Mulupi's research interests focus on the intersection between media, race and gender equity, particularly the representation of women and ethnic minorities in newsrooms and news content, and use of social networking platforms for feminist and racial justice activism.
Mulupi's previous research has examined workplace sexual harassment in 17 countries from Sub-Saharan Africa, Southeast Asia and the Arab region. She has also researched news coverage of instances of sexual violence/harassment involving prominent men in the U.S. and in African countries, and the underrepresentation of women in news coverage of COVID-19.
Mulupi's doctoral dissertation is a multi-method transnational project that examines how feminist knowledge and activism can contribute to better news coverage of sexual violence.
