Mario Ulloa

Mario Ulloa is a first year student in the rhetoric, media, and publics program. He earned his BA in Comparative Literature and Anthropology from the University of New Mexico. Mario’s work follows subjective meaning making and narrative creation among people interacting with media institutions. Borrowing from both semiotics and American pragmatism, Mario’s work seeks to explain how public opinion, social distinction, and other mental images of the world can impede processes of democracy and mutual recognition. Mario’s recent article on post colonial film and recognition theory was published in Third Text. Outside of academics, Mario enjoys running, rock climbing, and playing chess.
