Christina D. Owens received her PhD at the University of California, Davis in 2014. Her interdisciplinary expertise lies at the intersection of transnational American Studies, Japanese studies, and media studies.

She has also published multiple peer-reviewed articles about transnational American Studies pedagogy and teaching.
Professor Owens is from rural South Carolina and came to FSU after teaching interdisciplinary courses in California, Ohio, and New York (at UC Davis, Miami University, and Vassar College). She joined the FSU Honors Program faculty in 2018.
