Dear MAC colleagues:

Thank you so much for the prompt and overwhelming response. We now have a full slate of panelists and a moderator, with three members of MAC. This should be a great panel!

Again, thank you for your support. I feel blessed to be a colleague!

Subject: Moderator for VisComm/CCS panel on Race and VR

Dear MAC members:

I have put together a panel (No. 324), "Inside the Empathy Machine: Virtual Reality, Race and Reporting." We need a moderator who can understand issues around reporting on race and social justice. I was hoping to include MAC membership. We could possibly consider a fifth panelist if anyone has a particular research or creative interest in virtual reality, augmented reality uses for reporting on race matters.

Please contact me directly if interested. I am a bit behind getting this together for AEJMC, so a prompt response would really be appreciated.

Thank you,
