Mary Knickerbocker is a Comm Studies Adjunct Instructor and is today...'s faculty #FlashLightFriday:
Q: What is something about you that most others wouldn't know?
MARY: "Recently (like the last 2 years), I have learned how to crochet. I make a variety of things, like scarves, hats and beanies, blankets, and even clothing. However, my speciality is amigurumi, which is the Japanese art of doll-making, so basically stuffed animals. At this point, I've made just about every common animal and some not so common ones."
Q: Why did you choose to study/work at UNT in Communication Studies?
MARY: "As an instructor for COMM 1010, I think it is important to help students understand the power and influence of communication while also teaching them skills they can use in their everyday lives, both personally and professionally. I enjoy finding ways to bridge the gap between the practicality of effective communication to the more nuanced academic and theoretical lenses scholars in our field use to study communication phenomena."
Q: What is something that you are really good at?
MARY: "I consider crocheting my official hobby, but I am also completely obsessed with basketball (watching, not playing). You will usually find me crocheting, watching basketball, or playing with my 5-year old English Bulldog, Nova. Usually, I am doing at least 2, if not all 3 of these things at a time."
Q: What are your goals for this semester/year?
MARY: "My goal for my 1010 classes is to introduce students to the field of Communication Studies, not just as a class that's required for their core curriculum, but as an actual academic field of study that is continuously growing that offers a wide array of topics and career paths. For 3010, my goal is help students officially entering the COMM Studies program find areas of research they are interested in and passionate about and guide them through the process of academic writing and research in the field."
