Margaret Schwartz is associate professor of Communication and Media Studies at Fordham University. Her book _Dead Matter: The Meaning of Iconic Corpses_ (University of Minnesota Press, 2015) illustrates how structural inequalities like racism and sexism figure in the work of mourning. A post on the Press's blog relating the book's argument to the Laquan McDonald shooting is here. Her work is also available at Communication +1 and Genders.
