Joceline Andersen is an Associate Professor at Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops, BC.  She has published several peer-reviewed articles on topics including environmental communication in forestry films, hidden Canadian histories in Hollywood cinema, cinematic representations of technology, LGBT film festivals, and community building through online video and image sharing.

​

Her book Stars and Silhouettes: the History of the Cameo Role in Hollywood examines how audiences use their recognition of actors playing themselves in small roles to interact with mass entertainment while affirming their mastery of celebrity culture. This book is now available from Wayne State University Press.

​

She is currently pursuing several projects:

Forest Watch, a project using qualitative methods and interviews to examine impacts and production of training films that explore visual aesthetics of forest management.

Overcoming Copyright impediments, a project led by PIs Aaron Taylor and Rumi Graham using focus groups and surveys to inform guidelines for using and reusing audiovisual materials and overcoming copyright chill in Canadian media classrooms.

Salmon in the Nicola Valley Digital Media Project, producing student-led documentaries in partnership with Scw’exmx Tribal Council to explore and promote responses to salmon decline from the perspective of Nsyilxcn and Nlaka’pamux Elders, organizations, and Knowledge Keepers
