Sandra Ristovska is a documentary filmmaker and a Ph.D candidate in communication at Annenberg. In addition to her involvement with other Annenberg organizations and affiliate positions at Columbia and Central European University, Sandra has worked closely with CGCS and Professor Monroe Price since beginning her time at Annenberg. Her interests in the role of visuals in achieving social change and human rights are culminating in a dissertation project examining the institutionalization and professionalization of video advocacy by human rights organizations as facilitated by unfolding changes in technology, journalism and law. CGCS’s upcoming  Honing the Visual conference is largely inspired by Sandra’s dissertation work. As she prepares for her final semester at Penn, Sandra reflects on her time at CGCS and how it has impacted her work.
