About the Instructor

Michael V. DelNero

I received my Ph.D. in Media and Communication Studies from Bowling Green State University. I have been teaching here at Stonehill as a member of the Communication Department since 2017. I specialize in New Media, Cinema Studies, Surveillance Studies, and the American horror tradition. At Stonehill I’ve taught the following courses: Film History, Media Literacy, Mediated Communication, and special topics courses on Cinematic Apocalypses, Media Convergence, Independent Film, and Altered Lifeforms in the Media. I am currently working on an article about the film The Road as a cautionary tale of environmental destruction.
