JASON GILMORE, PhD

I am an Associate Professor of Global Communication at Utah State University. I earned my PhD from the Department of Communication at the University of Washington where I focused on global political communication. My research program focuses on the strategic creation, dissemination, and effects of particularly potent national and international ideas—such as American exceptionalism, transnationalism, anti-Americanism, hard and soft power—that are regularly communicated within and across national and cultural borders. A central component of this research currently focuses on examining the production and impacts of the culturally potent idea of American exceptionalism. I am also very interested in the roles that nationality, race, gender, and sexual orientation play in the ways that people around the world navigate their everyday lives.
