Katie Foss, Middle Tennessee State 

Nance McCown, Messiah

This panel addresses how scholars and students can co-create inclusive classroom environments. Specific discussions 

include: (1) the two-way influence of parenting and professional lives at different stages of academia; (2) the 

welcoming of diverse religious and/or spiritual experiences; and (3) other concerns that emerge from the 

intersection of family and/or religion with gender, race, ethnicity, sexuality, and/or class. Panelists consider how 

students can implement their deepened understanding of inclusivity in the classroom to communicate with 

audiences more authentically in their future, desired professional fields (including, but not limited to, advertising, 

public relations, and journalism).

Logan Molyneux, Temple 

This panel takes an inclusive, equitable, and international approach to exploring issues journalists increasingly face 

as they engage, for better or worse, more with news audiences. Specifically, this panel invites scholars, many with 

extensive backgrounds in newsrooms, ethnographies, and journalistic work, to discuss and present on how 

journalists are at once being asked to humanize connections with audiences while also assuming most of the risk 

that goes with such engagement. Journalists and journalistic actors find themselves increasingly harassed and 

threatened in online and social media spaces both within and outside of newsrooms, increasingly report issues of 

mental health and well-being, note a lack of preventative and palliative care from news organizations, and are more 

frequently disconnecting from or leaving all together journalistic spaces. This panel explores how journalists wrestle 

with challenges of engagement through social media, technology, and within newsrooms as well as with audiences 

and what coping mechanisms they employ that may help them to avoid (or may lead to) burnout, disconnection 

from social media, technology, newsroom work, and audiences, and ultimately an abandonment of journalism 

practice all together.

Preparing for Careers Beyond Academia After the Ph.D. 


Nikhila Natarajan, Rutgers 

Panelists

Duygu Kanver, mixed methods UX researcher, Detroit 

Amber Moser, Director of Internships, School of Communications, Elon 

Jill Campaiola, Head of User Research, Verily Life Sciences 

(Alphabet’s health subsidiary) 

As the number of available tenure-track positions declines in some disciplines and some colleges and universities 

delay hiring because of financial effects of the COVID pandemic, interest in alternatives to academic careers appears 

to be growing among media-focused Ph.D. students. The panel will look at how doctoral students can prepare for 

careers outside the university by talking to Ph.D. graduates who have found positions in technology fields. How did 

these scholars approach their primary immersion in research and teaching during the course of their Ph.D. studies 

with a view to staying relevant for multiple job markets? What advice do they have for Ph.D. candidates exploring 

what are sometimes referred to as “alt-academic” careers in the digital era? Digital technologies have transformed 

how society’s core communication platforms operate. Within those worlds, research depth is of immense value but 

must function and thrive within the constructs of a resource-process-outcome formula that is often shifting, 

ephemeral and collides with many of the foundational mechanics of a PhD immersion. How do we bridge those 

worlds of understanding on how research operates and is valued off-campus? What are the ingredients of being 

market-ready?

Ava Sirrah, former T-Studio creative strategist, adjunct at NYU Stern, Columbia University 

Brand Studios have become ubiquitous in news outlets across the United States. These newsrooms within 

newsrooms represent a unique collaboration between advertisers, designers and journalists dedicated to dressing 

sponsored content as news. Research about the blurry demarcation between “church and state” has focused on 

transparency and media effects, with less attention given to the journalists whose mission is to apply journalistic 

storytelling to sponsored content. This panel will be a discussion between practitioners and researchers who look at 

issues of professional identity, consumer protection and media ethics. The goal is to gain insights into the 

intersection of journalism and advertising from the standpoint of all stakeholders.

Six media educators share their decades of wisdom from working directly in the ongoing battle for diversity, equity 

and inclusion. Still teaching classes, some for more than 30 years, these Barrier Breakers have combined more than 

100 years of experience teaching journalism and communication. They are featured in an upcoming book Barrier 

Breakers: Media Educators Meeting the Diversity Challenge. While John Watson (American University) and Otis 

Sanford (University of Memphis) broke racial barriers in the newspaper newsrooms, Jason Begay, a former president 

of the Native American Journalists Association, made history in his department at the University of 

Montana. Getting their start at Wayne State University here in Detroit, Michigan, Alice Tait (Central Michigan) and 

Stan Tickton (Norfolk State) are some of the longest-serving faculty members in the nation. The five faculty share 

their stories during a panel moderated by George Daniels (Alabama). This session is sponsored by AEJMC’s Elected 

Standing Committee on Professional Freedom and Responsibility.

Teaching, Researching and Reporting on “Divisive Concepts”: Is There a Chill 

on Academic Freedoms? 


María E. Len-Ríos, Minnesota 

Panelists 

Keonte Coleman, Syracuse 

Tori Ekstrand, North Carolina at Chapel Hill 

Earnest L. Perry, Missouri 

Amber Roessner, Tennessee, Knoxville 

State legislatures across the country have introduced legislation under the auspices of “protecting student rights,” 

which are seen by many university communities as limiting freedom of speech and the freedom to discuss important 

intellectual topics. Some state legislation prohibits the use of public state funds for diversity training, bans required 

diversity training, and some states do not allow the introduction of ideas like critical race theory, implicit bias, or 

white privilege, which is deemed “divisive” and dangerous. Other legislation penalizes institutions with the threat of 

withdrawing funding. How is this affecting critical thinking and dialogue in our classrooms? How are we teaching 

student journalists to cover these stories? What legal protections do faculty have in discussing these concepts and 

issues?

Four years after the revitalization of #MeToo in 2017, and as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to sweep the world, 

this panel addresses a critical research deficit in the Global South – studies about news coverage of feminist 

movements. Even before the second wave of the #MeToo movement emerged, #NiUnaMenos surfaced in Argentina, 

inspired other similar forms of resistance in Latin America. Other feminist movements also emerged in Southeast 

Asia and the Middle East. Panelists will discuss their research, which focuses on several regions and countries around 

the world, including Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Libya, Yemen, Syria, and Southeast Asia. In addition, panelists will 

discuss a variety of methodologies and conceptual frameworks that could be used to study gender, violence, and 

media coverage and content, in addition to best practices regarding news coverage of #MeToo and other feminist 

movements. After short presentations by the panelists, the roundtable will be opened up to the audience to delve 

into the subject and contribute to the discussion.
