Dr. Bernadette "bird" Bowen

Dr. bird's (She/they/Dr.) BA is in Sociology and MA is in Communication. Most recently, she publishes poetry, earned a PhD in Media & Comm., and a Women, Gender, Sexualities Studies certificate.

Alongside a handful of colleagues since 2019, they have helped spearhead a critical feminist wave of media ecology. Their dissertation was a critical feminist and media ecological analysis of biomimetic sextech device advertisements marketed to vulva-havers, that anticipated the “rise of lonely single men” and afab folks queer and neurodiverse on TikTok in the ongoing COVID envirusment. 

Since finishing their PhD, Dr. bird has gained followers rapidly on TikTok, and continues sharing experiences, serving as a human-centric resource on critical media ecology for (especially, autistic and trans, victim and/or survivor, millennials / Gen Z) folks who continue struggling to exist in a colonial capitalist system, hellbent on sickening, disabling, and killing us for 🤑
