Mia, I would be willing to be on a panel discussing diversity in our classrooms. It’s a recruitment AND a retention issue and an issue that I am very passionate about. Let me know if you’re interested. Michelle "We do not need magic to change the world, we carry all the power we need inside ourselves already: we have the power to imagine better." -- J.K.

DEARTH OF DIVERSITY: Concerns in U.S. Journalism & Mass Communication Programs and Effects on TV Newsrooms Wednesday, Aug. 9, 11:45 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. COD - Teaching Sponsor: EEND Co-sponsor: MACD - Minorities and Communication Session summary In a recent Washington Post article, University of Pennsylvania professor Marybeth Gasman lamented the lack of diverse faculty members in American universities. Put bluntly, Gasman said, “The reason we don’t have more faculty of color among college faculty is that we don’t want them. We simply don’t want them.” Gasman described five key reasons why faculty of color aren’t desired, or hired. The problem intensifies in many Journalism and Mass Communication programs, especially those with intensive, industry-based skills components where the absence of diverse faculty members likely correlates with the low numbers of diverse news workers. If we look around our own programs, large and small, teaching or research-centric, we can see how often former industry practitioners are called upon to teach the next generation. What socio- cultural forces are at work that contribute to this problem? How does the long-standing, well-documented reality of social reproduction (also common in newsrooms) exacerbate the problem to create a perfect storm. Panelists address the problem head on and describe potential pathways for overcoming personal and institutional biases. Moderator Lillian Williams , Columbia College Chicago Potential panelists George Daniels, University of Alabama MAC Member #2 , Laura Smith, South Carolina Ava Greenwell, Loyola Chicago Other END Member Sponsor: LGBT - Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender & Queer Co-sponsor: MACD - Minorities and Communication Wednesday, Aug. 9, 1:30 p.m. to 3 p.m. In the program: Listed in program Listed as 'tip' in program: Listed as Tip Panel Description: Hiring minority faculty often brings diversity to research and creative and professional work, but diverse faculty are also able to bring unique perspectives to the classroom. These perspectives can bring challenges and opportunities not only for the students but also the diverse faculty themselves. This teaching panel aims to offer a forum for panelists to share their experience as minority faculty from this perspective. The panel will address topics such as the challenges, as well as the opportunities, of being a minority professor in the classroom and academic work setting, the impact it has on research and creative work, and the resulting effects that these teaching dynamics have on our professional areas across mass communication. ________________________________ Mia Moody-Ramirez, Ph.D. Baylor University American Studies Program Director Associate Professor & Graduate Program Director Department of Journalism, Public Relations & New Media 2016-17 ATL Baylor University Fellow One Bear Place #97353 Waco, Texas 76798-7353 Telephone 254-710-7247 Website:<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.miamoody.net_&d=DwMF-g&c=qKdtBuuu6dQK9MsRUVJ2DPXW6oayO8fu4TfEHS8sGNk&r=UOZidMzJwbmtIUf-oNDZ03OzNKewGBP--iZAQ4Ln2Ts&m=nGt-XehPY4t8Jvh-Og7t2stKQiEYwCKxaSkd9uPqoyA&s=hBh7q0ik_5Y7UfsmYE-iLzyUa3pvppgOoAVlsNwRY_U&e=> <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.miamoody.net_&d=DwMF-g&c=qKdtBuuu6dQK9MsRUVJ2DPXW6oayO8fu4TfEHS8sGNk&r=UOZidMzJwbmtIUf-oNDZ03OzNKewGBP--iZAQ4Ln2Ts&m=nGt-XehPY4t8Jvh-Og7t2stKQiEYwCKxaSkd9uPqoyA&s=hBh7q0ik_5Y7UfsmYE-iLzyUa3pvppgOoAVlsNwRY_U&e=> <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.miamoody.net_&d=DwMF-g&c=qKdtBuuu6dQK9MsRUVJ2DPXW6oayO8fu4TfEHS8sGNk&r=UOZidMzJwbmtIUf-oNDZ03OzNKewGBP--iZAQ4Ln2Ts&m=nGt-XehPY4t8Jvh-Og7t2stKQiEYwCKxaSkd9uPqoyA&s=hBh7q0ik_5Y7UfsmYE-iLzyUa3pvppgOoAVlsNwRY_U&e=> http://www.miamoody.net<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.miamoody.net_&d=DwMF-g&c=qKdtBuuu6dQK9MsRUVJ2DPXW6oayO8fu4TfEHS8sGNk&r=UOZidMzJwbmtIUf-oNDZ03OzNKewGBP--iZAQ4Ln2Ts&m=nGt-XehPY4t8Jvh-Og7t2stKQiEYwCKxaSkd9uPqoyA&s=hBh7q0ik_5Y7UfsmYE-iLzyUa3pvppgOoAVlsNwRY_U&e=> <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.amazon.com_The-2DObamas-2DMass-2DMedia-2DReligion_dp_1137404922&d=DwMF-g&c=qKdtBuuu6dQK9MsRUVJ2DPXW6oayO8fu4TfEHS8sGNk&r=UOZidMzJwbmtIUf-oNDZ03OzNKewGBP--iZAQ4Ln2Ts&m=nGt-XehPY4t8Jvh-Og7t2stKQiEYwCKxaSkd9uPqoyA&s=myO_SbFW_nBDi5Qd7WPjYfju2bJ9eEuHq3WRE8yh8hw&e=>Obamas and the Mass Media<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.amazon.com_The-2DObamas-2DMass-2DMedia-2DReligion_dp_1137404922&d=DwMF-g&c=qKdtBuuu6dQK9MsRUVJ2DPXW6oayO8fu4TfEHS8sGNk&r=UOZidMzJwbmtIUf-oNDZ03OzNKewGBP--iZAQ4Ln2Ts&m=nGt-XehPY4t8Jvh-Og7t2stKQiEYwCKxaSkd9uPqoyA&s=myO_SbFW_nBDi5Qd7WPjYfju2bJ9eEuHq3WRE8yh8hw&e=> <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.amazon.com_Black-2DMainstream-2DFraming-2DRacial-2DProfiling_dp_0761840362&d=DwMF-g&c=qKdtBuuu6dQK9MsRUVJ2DPXW6oayO8fu4TfEHS8sGNk&r=UOZidMzJwbmtIUf-oNDZ03OzNKewGBP--iZAQ4Ln2Ts&m=nGt-XehPY4t8Jvh-Og7t2stKQiEYwCKxaSkd9uPqoyA&s=wBD8Sbyps0ino_G8WDl_YWljdxXPWav-MsUq0v8IcBM&e=>Black & Mainstream Press' Coverage of Sept. 11<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.amazon.com_Black-2DMainstream-2DFraming-2DRacial-2DProfiling_dp_0761840362&d=DwMF-g&c=qKdtBuuu6dQK9MsRUVJ2DPXW6oayO8fu4TfEHS8sGNk&r=UOZidMzJwbmtIUf-oNDZ03OzNKewGBP--iZAQ4Ln2Ts&m=nGt-XehPY4t8Jvh-Og7t2stKQiEYwCKxaSkd9uPqoyA&s=wBD8Sbyps0ino_G8WDl_YWljdxXPWav-MsUq0v8IcBM&e=> James Byrd Jr. Study: <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__hewitttx.wix.com_jasper&d=DwMF-g&c=qKdtBuuu6dQK9MsRUVJ2DPXW6oayO8fu4TfEHS8sGNk&r=UOZidMzJwbmtIUf-oNDZ03OzNKewGBP--iZAQ4Ln2Ts&m=nGt-XehPY4t8Jvh-Og7t2stKQiEYwCKxaSkd9uPqoyA&s=i3L5elUV1TudJvjaiR8Y1BWeBxXlDiplztYyesuFlOk&e=> http://hewitttx.wix.com/jasper<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__hewitttx.wix.com_jasper&d=DwMF-g&c=qKdtBuuu6dQK9MsRUVJ2DPXW6oayO8fu4TfEHS8sGNk&r=UOZidMzJwbmtIUf-oNDZ03OzNKewGBP--iZAQ4Ln2Ts&m=nGt-XehPY4t8Jvh-Og7t2stKQiEYwCKxaSkd9uPqoyA&s=i3L5elUV1TudJvjaiR8Y1BWeBxXlDiplztYyesuFlOk&e=> ________________________________ From: FOR THE MINORITIES AND COMMUNICATION DIV.
