[Commlist] Communication@UMass PhD Program Info Session (November 16)

Communication@UMass
PhD Program Info Session
Virtual Open House over Zoom
November 16, Tuesday, 1130AM-1230PM EST
[Zoom registration below]

The Department of Communication at UMass Amherst invites interested PhD 
applicants to a virtual visit and meet-and-greet with faculty and 
current graduate students.

The one-hour Zoom session aims to introduce you to faculty and their 
current research projects, connect you with graduate students, and 
answer questions that can help demystify the application process.

For 49 years, the Department of Communication has produced innovative, 
influential, and interdisciplinary scholarship about communication and 
its centrality to social, cultural, and political processes. Our diverse 
areas of focus include digital technology studies, film and media 
studies, media and cultural production, media effects, rhetoric and 
performance studies, social interaction and culture, and the political 
economy of communication. From across these areas, our faculty and PhD 
student community share a commitment to address issues of social 
inequality and work toward equity and social justice through our 
empirical research, multimodal scholarship, community outreach, and 
teaching and mentoring.

PhD students admitted to our program receive five years of funding. They 
are welcomed to the department’s vibrant research culture and the 
hospitable environment of the Five Colleges in the Pioneer Valley, 
including UMass Amherst, Amherst College, Smith College, Mt Holyoke 
College and Hampshire College. They benefit from diverse resources, 
including the option to pursue certificate programs in Film Studies, 
Feminist Studies, Ethnographic Research, Data Analytics and 
Computational Social Science, and Caribbean, Latin American, and Latino 
Studies. Recent PhD grads have taken tenure-track job posts at Emerson 
College, the University of Colorado, the University of Houston, 
Vanderbilt University, and Simon Fraser University.

Come and ask all your questions to our faculty and grad students. For 
other inquiries, contact PhD program Admissions Chair Dr Jonathan Corpus
