At Illinois State University, I teach courses on news literacy, freedom of speech and the press, communication research methods, and Latin American and Latino studies. This was featured in ISU News from the perspective of one of the students: “Students collaborate with a Mixtec community to share culture and language through documentary filmmaking.” I love being in a college that is so diverse and multidisciplinary, allowing for creative and collaborative teaching, research, and service.” He seamlessly bridges journalism, immigration, and Latino studies and has built a national and international reputation as a stellar scholar. We are blessed to have Dr. Severino as a School of Communication colleague.”
