We welcome applicants for the inaugural USC Annenberg Summer Institute 
on Diversity in Media and Culture, June 16-20, 2014. The Institute will 
bring together exemplary doctoral students and faculty members from 
across the disciplines of Communication and Media Studies and around the 
nation to discuss issues of race, gender and difference in media, within 
the shifting conditions of technology, production, circulation and 
consumption as well as the shifting discourse of difference in the areas 
of politics, culture and globalization. Approximately 20 doctoral 
students will be chosen to participate based on submitted papers and 
recommendations from their advisors.


The Institute will be divided into workshop sessions that feature 
current work from Institute faculty (listed below) and research seminars 
in which all participants present and discuss their own 
work-in-progress. Speakers in the workshop sessions will examine race, 
gender, and difference in the media from a variety of interdisciplinary 
and methodological perspectives. The Institute welcomes participants who 
are involved in a range of disciplinary and interdisciplinary fields and 
who are interested in current critical debates in Communication and 
Media Studies.


Applications, including a statement of background and interests and a 
paper that fits within the Institute’s broad topical range, should be 
sent to: USC Annenberg Summer Institute, School of Communication, USC 
Annenberg School, 3502 Watt Way, Los Angeles, CA 90089. Applicants 
should have their faculty advisor send a supporting recommendation to
