Tara Brabazon is a professor of media studies at the University of Brighton at Brighton & Hove in the south of England. She was a finalist for Australian Teacher of the Year in 2005.[1]. She also is director of the Popular Culture Collective which tries to document popular culture with academic rigor.[2][3]

Brabazon came to international attention after she criticized Wikipedia and Google for encouraging a lack of critical thinking in students. Brabazon banned her students from using either website and compared the sites to "white bread" as they were filling but not nutritional.[4]. Wikipedia responded to this by drastically increasing the size of their article on her.[5] [6]
