[Air-L] Interpersonal Position

[Nancy Baym]

I am chairing a search for an Assistant Professor in Interpersonal 
Communication at the University of Kansas. I strongly encourage 
people looking at issues centered on personal relationships and new 
technology to apply, although a new technology angle is not a 
requirement. Please pass this along to any appropriate candidates you 
may know, and let me know of any one you think would be a good match 
whom I should contact directly.

Feel free to contact me for further information! I'll also be happy 
to discuss this further with anyone who's interested at the AoIR 
meeting in Vancouver.

Thanks,
Nancy
