[Air-L] Jobs: 2 TT Assistant Professor: Screen Studies & Multimedia Journalism (Fordham, NY NY)

[Alice E. Marwick]

My department at Fordham, Communication and Media Studies, is hiring. Note
that we are a great place for junior faculty: we have hired some incredible
people over the last few years, we are launching a new MA program next year
and a new undergraduate curriculum is in the works. And you'd get to work
with me :)

I'm not on the hiring committee for either job but would be happy to answer
questions about Fordham.
