Dr. Aimee Viljoen is a Senior Lecturer and SAFTA award winner in the department of Communication and Media, juggling roles as Honours Film & TV Coordinator and Third-Year Screen Studies Coordinator. She swears by Benjamin Franklin’s motto: "Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn." Her research dives into audience studies, screen studies, feminist and queer representation, and AI’s role in academia. Whether unpacking binge-watching trends or debating AI in research, Aimee is all about media, meaning, and the magic of the screen.
