ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT:

>From high technology to everyday interactions, Fordham’s Department of
Communication and Media Studies turns its attention to the connections
between past and present, historically grounding old and new media through
ethically-infused teaching and research. We advocate the model of the
publicly-engaged scholar and critically-informed practitioner who is
civically and socially reflective through analytical and/or applied means.
Our faculty includes scholars and practitioners from a range of theoretical
and methodological perspectives.

We administer four undergraduate majors -- Communication & Culture, Digital
Technology & Emerging Media, Film & Television, and Journalism -- and
participate in several interdisciplinary programs. Our MA program in Public
Media trains students in the theory and practice of storytelling for social
change and civic engagement. We seek to attract and promote a diverse
workforce to maintain the excellence of the University, and to offer
students richly varied disciplines, perspectives and ways of knowing and
learning. We believe that cultural and intellectual diversity is central to
the excellence of our academic program, and we strive to create an academic
community and campus culture that attracts and facilitates the development
of promising and diverse teacher-scholars.

As our student body becomes increasingly diverse, we are especially
interested in candidates with substantive experience and commitment to
teaching and mentoring students from a range of social, cultural and
economic backgrounds, and who have successfully incorporated the research
of women and scholars of color into their courses.

Fordham is located in the heart of New York City, interacting on many
levels with a wide array of communities and institutions. Through research,
teaching and service, we are committed to developing and deepening our
connections to the people and organizations around us. Fordham is an
independent, Catholic University in the Jesuit tradition that welcomes
applications from all backgrounds. Fordham is an Equal Opportunity
Employer, and women, people of color and people with disabilities are
especially encouraged to apply. Same-sex spouses are eligible for benefits.

This institution offers benefits to same-sex and to different sex domestic
