Religion. Media. Narratives.
D. Ashley Campbell, PhD, has spent 11 years telling stories about religion and society as a scholar, educator, and reporter. Her storytelling aims to make complex, nuanced information into accessible narratives that focus on human and cultural stories. She prefers telling stories through podcast/radio, writing, and in-person.
She completed her PhD in Media & Religion at the University of Colorado-Boulder, where her research examined questions of religion, national identity, and mediated meaning-making.
Ashley uses a qualitative, narrative-driven approach to her academic, journalistic, and strategic communications work. She enjoys the opportunity to piece together disparate information into a cohesive narrative accessible to public audiences. Her communication style adapts to the needs of different stakeholders while emphasizing the human and cultural stories involved.
She also has worked with start-ups, research centers, non-profits, and podcasts to develop messaging and build their public presence.
Ashley also hosts and produces the podcast Religionish and she wrote at Sitting in the Stacks about about all thing books, scholarship, and culture.
Her work aims to illuminate the narratives that reinforce power structures and systemic inequality.
Ashley has topic expertise in media, religion, and nationalism. You can reach out to her for guest lecturing, interviews, speaking requests, and other opportunities on these topics.
