Welcome
Welcome to my website. I am Hue Duong, Assistant Professor at the Department of Communication, Georgia State University, Atlanta, U.S. I received my doctoral degree in Communication from the University of Georgia, USA. Prior to that, I was a Fulbright Scholar at the University of Northern Iowa and a lecturer at Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT -- Australian university).
I have over 16 years of professional experience, working in areas related to grassroots community development, risk education campaigns, impact surveys, capacity building, higher education teaching and research. I worked in various projects funded by United Nations and International Non-government Organizations (NGOs).
At Georgia State University, I conduct original research related to health communication, communication theories, media effect and message effect, child violence prevention, tobacco control, and development communication.
This is a personal website and it entirely and only reflects my own stories through my scientific research and media stories.
Research Story
In my recent research project, I tested the effect of exposure to meaningful pop music videos on vaccination message reception and attitudinal change. I used several pop hits from Celine Dion, Bee Gees, Eric Clapton, and many other artists. Results provided contributions to the literature on meaningful media effect and health persuasion.
This research has now been published in Human Communication Research.
