Position Description

Global Media and Information Flows, with Asian Studies Focus


The International Studies Program at Macalester College seeks to appoint 
an
Assistant Professor in Global Media and Information Flows. A vibrant
interdisciplinary program at the heart of the College's mission,
Macalester's International Studies Program approaches a broad range of
phenomena from fully global or transnational perspectives.

Successful Global Media and Information Flows candidates will be effective
teachers and rising scholars in the fields of global 
radio/television/film,
the Internet, telecommunications, worldwide news and information flows, 
the
electromagnetic spectrum, or the complexities of cross-border images and
media. The sources, distribution, aesthetics, gender and racial 
dimensions,
technology, and reception of infomedia are all of interest. Candidates
trained in any of a broad variety of humanities and social science
disciplines are encouraged to apply.

A global perspective is essential. Within this global perspective, 
however,
we seek candidates able to participate in our Asian or Latin American
Studies programs. We have a special interest in candidates in the
first-mentioned field, welcoming all areas of Asia.

The teaching load is five courses per year. All Macalester faculty work
closely with students and contribute to the broader intellectual life of 
the
College. The appointment will begin September 1, 2003. For fullest
consideration, initial applications, consisting of detailed introductory
letter and curriculum vitae only, must be received by November 15, 2002,
sent to:
