With her love of writing, an interest in new technology, and a deep enthusiasm for history, mass communication was a field that allowed Dr. Bak to explore all of her research interests. Her dissertation explored brides in American mass media from the 19th century through the beginning of the 21st century. The first chapter won her a top student paper award and was published in Journalism History. Emilia also earned a graduate certificate in women’s studies while at UGA.
