Within the New Media Minor, Dr. Simone teaches Participatory Media (college elective) and the New Media Practicum (core capstone course). She also teaches Political Communication, Introduction to Communication Studies, Digital Communities, and Senior Seminar in Communication Studies.

She has published articles that look at the theoretical foundations of the public interest in media policy, citizen activists uses of the internet for achieving their objectives, and the ways in which governments rhetorically frame surveillance to gain compliance from citizens. She is currently investigating participatory media, such as YouTube and Facebook, and the ways in which this technology impacts citizen deliberation in the public sphere.
