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. 
Fordham is an independent, Catholic University in the Jesuit tradition 
that welcomes applications from all backgrounds. Fordham is an Equal 
Opportunity Employer, and women, people of color and people with 
disabilities are especially encouraged to apply. Same-sex spouses are 
eligible for benefits.

This institution offers benefits to same-sex and to different sex 
domestic partners.

This institution offers benefits to spouses.
