FW: Information on Yahoo! Fellow in Residence, Georgetown University
Greetings, Mr. Michael Samway, Yahoo! Inc. suggested that we send an announcement of a new Yahoo! Fellow in Residence at Georgetown University. Georgetown University is initiating a multi-year project on International Values, Communications Technology & the Global Internet. As part of that project, we seek the appointment of a Yahoo! Fellow in Residence who would conduct research and participate in related educational activities during the 2007-2008 academic year. The position is described in the attached Call for Applications. A recent press release on the overall project can be found at http://explore.georgetown.edu/news/?ID=24375. Information on applications are provided in the attached pdf file. You were suggested to us as someone who might know appropriate individuals with an interest in this area. The timeframe is short for selecting someone who could begin an appointment in the coming Fall term, particularly for potential international candidates, so we would appreciate your help in circulating this announcement. We anticipate similar annual appointments in the future and would be happy to inform you of such opportunities if you so desire. Thank you for any assistance you might provide in this matter. With best wishes, Charles Dolgas -- Charles Dolgas Director of Administration and Publications Institute for the Study of Diplomacy Tel 202-965-5735, ext. 204 Fax 202-965-5811
All, Shameless self-promotion alert. A two volume set on Communication Activism, Volume One: Communication Activism: Communication for Social Change and Volume Two: Communication Activism: Media and Performance Activism has just been published by Hampton Press. These two texts showcase how scholars have engaged in communication activism to assist individuals, groups, organizations, and communities to secure social reform. Editors Lawrence R. Frey and Kevin M. Carragee have put together a great collection of serious, rigorous, empirical research. Each of the chapters explain the people involved in the social change effort, the specific projects or interventions designed to secure social change, the theories and methods that inform the projects, and what lessons these scholar-activists have learned about engaging in communication activism. My chapter "Spectrum Wars: Bridging Factionalism in the Fight for Free Radio" is framed around the impacts of the adoption of digital communication technology by activists during the 1990s. -TED Ted M.
