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.
