PHD Candidate AT BGSU IN THE SCHOOL OF MEDIA & COMMUNICATION

Jinx Mylo

My research is focused on how representations of marginalized identities in popular culture influence attitudes toward those groups (like autistic people), with side projects in cross-neurotype communication and the intersections between autism, gender, and sexuality.

Currently Recruiting Online Research Participants:

Experiences with Forms & Rating Scales – Give your feelings on question types and say if example rating scale items would be easy or hard to answer (Autistic only, 5-15 minutes)
Reactions to TV Characters – Watch and rate 20-second clips from TV shows with autistic characters (Autistic & Non-autistic, 45 minutes for gift card raffle, as little as 5 minutes otherwise)
Recognizing Autism through Visible Characteristics & Behaviors – Answer questions on how you think about autism and autistic people (Non-autistic & Autistic, 15-30 minutes)

Hello! I’m busy with my dissertation right now, but I’ll restore my regular website sometime soonish. In the meantime, thanks for visiting, and get in touch if you’d like to chat about research, tv, autistic representation, or growing tomatoes. (I know, that last one doesn’t really fit the theme, but I grew 20 varieties of tomato last summer, and it was amazing.)
