	studies, and universal design, this multidisciplinary area of
	inquiry addresses issues of bias, diversity, equity, and exclusion
	in information and global media systems. We welcome a diverse range
	of applicants whose scholarship, newsroom experiences, design and
	visual communication practice, journalistic work, and/or public
	impact work in Information Justice would contribute to our programs
	in Information Justice in Journalism, Art + Design, or
	Communication Studies.
