NEW @ KU 

The William Allen White School of Journalism & Mass Communications

through our concentrations in Multimedia Journalism and Digital Marketing 

Communications, Advertising and Public Relations. In addition to our 

$5 million building renovation, here’s what’s new with the Jayhawks! 

Media Arts & Production Concentration (Fall 2022) 

Our new concentration will prepare students who are creators, thinkers and doers to 

excel in an ever-evolving media environment where content creation is king. Students 

will merge tech skills and creativity to develop as media producers and storytellers, 

media and audience researchers, critical thinkers, designers and enterprise leaders. 

Hiring More New Faculty (Fall 2022) 

Our professors are innovative researchers who understand how to inform, engage 

and persuade audiences. We are looking for more talented instructors to teach students 

to think critically and creatively while upholding the highest ethical standards of our 

school. Follow our social media @KUJournalism for job alerts to join our team. 

Sports Media Concentration (Fall 2023) 

Our students already have incredible sports media opportunities (including covering 

the road to our National Championship). This new concentration will further prepare 

students who want a career in sports media to engage diverse audiences with creative, 

relevant and innovative ideas through journalistic and marketing communications.

JOURNALISM AND 

DEMOCRACY 

Publishing engaging and innovative books, this interdisciplinary 

series explores the complex and vexed relationship between 

journalism and democracies past and present, in local, regional, 

national, and transnational contexts. Projects in the series 

address a range of issues, including the role of new technologies 

in reshaping public discourse and civic life; problems of propaganda 

and government secrecy in the past and in the digital 

era; changing relationships between press, public, and state; the 

rise of illiberal populism and its threat to liberal democracy; and 

commercialism and the concentration of corporate media power.

tour of important religious sites around the city. The tour 

lasts all day and will include a stop for lunch. A complete 

itinerary will be provided to participants closer to 

the conference, but confirmed stops include the Islamic 

Center of America (the largest mosque in North America) 

and Congregation Shaarey Zedek (one of the oldest Jewish 

communities in Michigan). There is no charge for the bus 

tour, but participants will be responsible for purchasing 

their own lunches, and a gratuity for the bus driver is recommended. 

Because we will be visiting sacred spaces, 

participants are asked to dress modestly – no shorts, short 

skirts, or exposed shoulders. Some sites may ask women 

to cover their hair, so it requested to bring a scarf along.

Indigenous Communities and the Media 


Mark Trahant, editor-at-large, Indian Country Today 

Organized by: Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and 

Mass Communication, Arizona State University, and 

Indian Country Today 

Hosted by Indian Country Today editor-at-large Mark 

Trahant, this half-day workshop will explore the complex 

relationships between Indigenous communities and 

media of all kinds, from news to entertainment to social 

platforms. It will also be a space for discussing the challenges 

of including these topics in journalism and media 

studies curricula, often in the absence of Indigenous 

faculty or others personally familiar with the topic. Key 

themes will include Indigenous-operated media organizations, 

which provide an important outlet for reporting 

on topics of significance to Native communities; coverage 

of Indigenous stories in legacy or mainstream news 

outlets, including the presence (or more likely. Absence) 

of Indigenous voices in coverage of broader issues such 

as politics, economics, climate change, crime, public 

health, and more; and representation of Indigenous people 

and communities in popular culture. The final session


23 


will center around the inclusion of Indigenous topics and 

authors in syllabi and class discussions for faculty seeking 

to decolonize and diversify new or existing courses 

in journalism and mass communication. The preconference 

will also be an opportunity to discuss issues such as 

communication infrastructure and data sovereignty. Each 

key theme will be introduced with a brief presentation, 

then opened to discussion by participants. The preconference 

is intended to be of interest to members of these 

communities in North America, journalists and others 

who write about Indigenous peoples, and all scholars 

interested in understanding the dynamics of indigenous 

communities, media and audiences. Coffee and light 

breakfast refreshments will be offered. Pre-registration is 

required. Workshop will be held at the Detroit Free Press 

headquarters, 160 W. Fort St.

This workshop is divided into three 75-minute minisessions: 

job searching within academia (1:00-2:15), 

finding non-academic jobs (2:20-3:35), and mid-career 

reassessment (3:40-4:55). The “job searching within 

academia” panel provides guidance for immediate and 

future job seekers. We explore various jobs available in 

the academy while offering techniques on networking 

during and after the conference. The “finding non-academic 

jobs” panel provides insights on how to transition 

to non-academic positions. Experienced speakers from 

the Committee discuss the surprising scope of available 

positions and applicability of skills and offer valuable 

tips on how to tailor your application and navigate the 

recruitment process. Featuring two invited seasoned faculty 

speakers, along with three experienced members of 

the Committee, the “mid-career reassessment” panel will 

explore and discuss opportunities, challenges, and strategies 

for tenured associate professors who are inspired to 

advance their careers via promotion to full professorships 

and for full professors who are considering other career 

opportunities. Those registered can attend all three or 

some of the sessions.

Haley Hatfield (Ph.D. candidate) 

Area of Research: VR and Attitudes Attributed 

to Systemic Racism and White Privilege 

“When we interact with technology, it is easy 

to see it as being neutral or incapable of having 

biases. It can be easy to forget that technology 

is created by biased humans, and in many 

cases, these biases can become replicated 

within virtual spaces.” 

Solyee Kim (Ph.D. '22) 

Area of Research: DEI in Public Relations 

"I noticed and experienced a serious lack of 

diversity, equity and inclusion in the field. I 

decided to pursue my doctorate degree so I 

could contribute to improving conditions in 

the industry." 

Leslie Klein (Ph.D. candidate) 

Area of Research: Media Law and

"The faculty here really want you to engage 

in research and take the lead on projects, and

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).

Diana Bossio, Swinburne 



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

46 



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.

exploring what are sometimes referred to as “altacademic” 

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?

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,

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

64 



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.

As day-and-date releases cannibalize box office revenue 

and digital editions cannibalize print circulation, a challenge 

facing media managers is how to measure the 

performance of media content, when traditional metrics 

no longer account for the total audience. This panel will 

explore new ways of measuring the success of media 

content in a world where traditional metrics have been 

compromised.

In the rock magazine scene of the ’70s and ’80s, 

Detroit’s CREEM Magazine carved out an important 

niche. Seriously funny, simultaneously erudite and lowbrow, 

CREEM helped transform rock criticism. An editorial 

appeared in an early issue in which the founders 

wrote: “We are a rock ’n’ roll magazine, with all that 

that implies. Our culture is a rock ’n’ roll culture. We are 

rock ’n’ roll people.” This panel will examine CREEM’s 

high-energy legacy through the eyes of scholars and 

practitioners.

such, this round table puts together a group of female 

scholars from all over the world, to invite them to discuss 

new lines of inquiry that are of relevance to distinctive 

areas in media and communication studies--pushing the 

boundaries of Communication Studies by enabling an 

approach toward academic cosmopolitanism research.

Panelist 

Chelsea Reynolds, California State-Fullerton 

Neither journalism nor academia is known for its earning 

potential. Despite our modest salaries, media professionals 

and JMC professors suffer high rates of burnout and 

struggle with a “publish or perish” mentality. In an ideal 

world, neither journalism nor scholarly research are tied 

to capitalist modes of production. This panel asks us to 

consider how we can divorce our intellectual labor from 

institutions which, by nature, exploit their workers — 

especially those of us already on the margins. We will 

also host a discussion with the audience to brainstorm 

how we can resist cultures of over-work on our home 

campuses. This panel responds to the LGBTQ Interest 

Group’s strategic goals for AY 2021-2022, which promised 

a critique of academic capitalism during COVID-19.

This panel will interrogate the role of the Black Church 

in the present and future conditions of social activism. 

Music, a pillar of the Church and Detroit, will animate 

this moving experience. Music speaks to the endless 

pursuit of hope, joy, and resistance. Contemporary music 

trends will be addressed by each panelist’s expertise: 

social justice, technological innovation, genre, Detroit 

history, and theology. Both gospel artists and secular 

talent draw inspiration from biblical values. Recent 

periods of civil unrest in response to police brutality 

spurred songs such as “I Just Wanna Live” by Keedron 

Bryant, “Overcome 2021” by Kirk Franklin, and more.

Panelists

Sandra Svoboda, Great Lakes Now, 

Program Director 

Ron Fonger, The Flint Journal/MLive 

Filthy water in Flint got the world’s attention over the last 

several years. But as happens too often, reporting was 

muddled and too often simplistic about real causes and 

the science behind why it all happened, and why solutions 

were so challenging and slow-moving. This panel 

will pull in the perspectives of reporters whose boots on 

the ground were digging into what actually happened and 

not merely what national or international media assumed

J&C Monographs Editorial Board Meeting 


Linda Steiner, Maryland, editor 

Journalism instructors faced the challenges of moving to 

online course delivery during the COVID-19 pandemic at 

a time when there had been “less research on pedagogical 

approaches for online courses within trade or professional 

disciplines, like journalism, which required high 

levels of authentic or experiential learning” (Delaney & 

Betts, 2020) than there had been in other more purely 

academic subjects. Two years into the pandemic, this 

panel aims to reflect on lessons from this challenging 

period and offer tips, insights, and caveats for both new 

and veteran online instructors of journalism. The panel 

brings together educators from various regions of the 

world to discuss best practices in converting journalism

120 



courses from face-to-face to online, in working with various 

types of learners online, in teaching students in very 

large online courses, in teaching multimedia storytelling 

courses online, and in creating collaborative learning 

experiences in online spaces.

The Cronkite difference 

Cronkite School 

is Growing 

New leadership 

New campuses 

New research 

Dr. Battinto L. Batts Jr. 

ASU is ready for challenges, 

new opportunities 

In my fi rst year as dean, I refl ect 

upon our accomplishments 

with much pride: The numerous 

awards won by students. 

The esteemed faculty we have 

recruited. The excellence with 

which Arizona PBS serves the 

community. Our research. Our 

professional programs. Our 

iconic and beautiful building. 

There are many great 

programs of our kind, but there 

is only one Cronkite. Our 

uniqueness is in the spirit with 

which we have pursued our 

work under the guidance of 

strong leadership and vision as 

a unit of Arizona State University. 

We are aggressive innovators 

and entrepreneurs, passionate 

storytellers, principled 

pursuers of the truth and 

impactful communicators. 

But we must not become 

comfortable atop this hill on 

which we stand. 

To succeed, we must 

advance to the next stage — 

through a process of selfanalysis 

and a shared vision 

for the future. We have a 

framework to guide us in this 

endeavor, which is both a lens 

to look inward at ourselves 

and the Cronkite community 

and to then turn outward 

to chart our journey.

Goldberg works closely with ASU’s 

Phoenix and Los Angeles locations, 

expanding leadership and academic 

offerings. 

Her role is to “help tell stories around 

how we are addressing and shaping 

our collective future options, including 

climate change — one of the trickiest 

stories to tell to a general audience. 

I want to do what I can to fi gure out 

how to explain the threats to and 

opportunities for our planet and its 

inhabitants with greater accessibility, 

resonance and impact,” Goldberg says. 

“I’m thrilled to join ASU. I can give back to our profession, help 

strengthen journalism during a challenging time for the free press, and 

work at an inclusive public university with young people who will shape 

the stories of tomorrow.” 

Expansion in L.A.

Past President’s Panel Session 

An Exercise in Reimagining AEJMC’s Future 

AEJMC’s current structure developed, largely 

piecemeal, over the past 110 years, as units 

formed —- sometimes first as interest groups and 

then as divisions — then grew, contracted, and 

changed their names to match shifts in media 

industries. Is the current organization the best 

one for the association? Maybe. This call for 

proposals, however, offers members a chance to 

imagine something different. The goal of inviting 

these proposals is to facilitate a wide-ranging 

discussion about the merits and shortcomings 

of our current arrangements. Hence, this is a 

‘blue sky’ exercise to allow for innovation and 

imagination. Any actual structural shifts would 

require careful and methodical preparation and 

deliberation across a multi-year time frame and 

would require a vote of AEJMC’s membership. 

AEJMC welcomed submissions of proposals that 

would lay out a new organizational structure for 

the divisions, interest groups, and/or commissions 

that have programming rights at our annual 

conferences and are membership based. The 

submissions can propose new divisions, interest 

groups, or other entities, like working groups or 

affinity groups; propose elimination or combination 

of entities; and/or suggest any other form of 

reorganization. 


Tim P. Vos, Michigan State, past president, 

AEJMC 2021-22 

Panelists 

The 4 C’s in Shaping AEJMC for the Future 

Informed by the history of the association when it was 

known as just the Association for Education in Journalism, 

this model for AEJMC for the future recognizes the value 

in the diversity of our AEJMC divisions. It proposes evolving 

these divisions into councils with industry members 

or caucuses offering a home for like-minded researchers 

and emerging scholars better defines what value they 

offer to members. Additionally, making membership in 

the caucuses a part of the baseline regular faculty and 

student membership operates as an endorsement for what 

these caucuses provides. This can only help the overall 

association grow and evolve. The continued investment 

in diversity equity and inclusion will come through the 

more formal appointment of representatives to what are 

now three commissions – Commissions on the Status 

of Women, Commission on the Status of Minorities 

and recently formed Commission on Graduate Student 

Education. There are four current units that are not in 

the proposed new structure-- Community Journalism, 

Internships and Careers, Participatory Journalism (formally 

civic journalism) and Mass Communication and 

Society (our largest division). Making Mass Comm & 

Society an organization-wide academic journal recognizes 

its status as a flagship journal for mass communication 

research. But, as the association now has “mass communication” 

in its name, the work of this current division 

and the community journalism, internships and career 

and participatory journalism interest groups can be better 

executed infused across other caucuses and councils. 


AEJMC’s Unique Mission and Organizational Identity 

Among Peer Associations 

AEJMC continues to face growing competition from peer 

associations and professional associations. At the same 

time, university funding for conference travel and association 

memberships is decreasing. A renewed focus on 

the AEJMC’s unique identity — as a whole that is greater 

than the sum of its parts — is needed to establish its place


133 


as the first choice for journalism and mass communication 

scholars and teachers. This proposal emerged from 

an examination of the current AEJMC organizational 

structure, constitution/bylaws, CDIG mission statements, 

2017 strategic plan, national convention programming, 

and scholarly research. AEJMC has reached a growth 

plateau of Commissions, Divisions, and Interest Groups 

(CDIGs) that support the association community. The 

following proposal reimagines the AEJMC structure in 

the context of a stakeholder democracy that emphasizes 

organizational listening to gain actionable insights that 

informs strategic organizational communication). The 

purpose of this proposal is to enhance AEJMC’s unique 

mission and organizational identity among peer associations. 

A unique brand identity is imperative to enhance 

recruitment practices that support the long-term success 

of AEJMC.

and Matt Haught, Memphis 

AEJMC Needs to Become More Diverse and Inclusive 

Internationally, and Revitalize Its Membership 

If AEJMC wishes to reclaim its relevance in the broader 

scholarly community, become more diverse and inclusive 

internationally, and revitalize its membership and 

members’ their commitment to the association, it needs 

a structure that makes sense in the 21st century — which 

begins by rectifying a medium-specific, siloed structure 

that is an artifact of AEJMC’s past. We illustrate this by 

exploring how a new umbrella Journalism Division is 

a natural first step in moving past the lost opportunities 

for collaboration and discovery that have occurred for 

years because of unnecessary silos. The association also 

needs, we argue, a set of new practices such as shifts 

in division leadership dynamics, membership requirements, 

and community-building initiatives — that have 

been proven successful in other associations and which 

could be adapted to suit AEJMC’s circumstances. These 

changes would focus on engaging senior-scholar leadership 

to provide greater “quality control” and supervision 

over divisions; they would also stimulate greater involvement, 

mentorship, and a sense of community among 

members at all levels. In addition to retooling divisions 

and their operations, AEJMC should take a more active 

role in overseeing what have long been division-specific 

journals (e.g., Newspaper Research Journal) to help them 

improve their reach and impact, and eventually become 

more meaningful contributors to the global intellectual 

community. Finally, we propose moving the annual conference 

from early August to early October — a practical 

change that we believe would make a meaningful difference 

in attracting a larger, more international set of 

attendees.

and Seth Lewis, Oregon 

AEJMC Needs a Durable Structure that is Responsive to 

Change Yet Withstands Passing Fads 

What makes AEJMC distinct from other associations in the 

communication and media fields is its relationship with 

– and obligations to – three related areas: the academy, 

the classroom, and the practice. No other association, to 

our minds, possesses the same or even similar dynamic. 

AEJMC recognizes these relationships and meets these 

obligations through the categories of research, teaching, 

and professional freedom and responsibility. Our proposal 

is designed to amplify this tripartite dynamic without 

watering down any category. We envision AEJMC 

as a home for scholars, teachers, and practitioners, each 

learning from the other. To achieve this, AEJMC needs a 

durable structure that is responsive to change yet withstands 

passing fads. 

Nicole Kraft, Ohio State 

How Might AEJMC Transform Itself from a Committeedriven, 

Top-down Structure to More Open-source, 

Member-driven Governance for Both the Organization 

and the Conference? 

This proposal is rooted in two years of dialogue, 

based on the tenets of change management. This is its 

main advantage, to build awareness, desire, and 

knowledge through dialogue (and then to work on 

ability and reinforcement later). A second advantage 

is that it is experiential. It allows AEJMC members 

to see and discuss possible changes through 

the conference experience of using “tracks” for 

programming. The engine of this dialogue about 

change would be topic tracks that members, divisions, 

interest groups, and commissions may first decide 

upon and then join for programming and discussion 

during the next two AEJMC conferences in 2023 and 

2024. Programming tracks are used successfully by 

SXSW and other conferences, so that participants can 

find a variety of scholars and programming within 

their broader interests. After these encounters “along 

the tracks” in 2023 and 2024, AEJMC members 

could be part of deciding whether a track structure 

might serve as a better and looser organizing 

principle for their affinity groups and conference programming, 

compared with current organizational 

and conference-planning structures. The key question 

guiding this proposal is: How might AEJMC transform 

itself from a committee-driven, top-down structure to 

more open-source, member-driven governance for both 

the organization and the conference? The purpose would 

be to discover ways to make organizational groups and 

topics relevant, fluid, and accessible for interdisciplinary 

problem-solving in the communication and journalism 

fields we serve through members’ teaching, research, 

and service.

Decolonizing theories are largely absent from mass communication 

research. Yet, they are used widely in differ-


137 


ent disciplines around the world to replace Eurocentric 

models, many of which have had detrimental effects on 

Indigenous communities. This colloquium examines current 

communication research that relies on Indigenous 

Standpoint Theory. Employing IST and other decolonizing 

theories, and the methods that support them, provide 

a foundation to actively resist current mass communication 

theories that are rooted in the paradigm of dead 

white men. The goal of the Indigenous Standpoint Theory 

Colloquium is to move the field toward Indigenous views 

of mass communication research that prioritizes the 

needs of communities over that of individuals.

Panelists 

Valérie Bélair-Gagnon, Minnesota 


Jane Elizabeth, Consult Creative LLC 

Sarah Scire, Nieman Lab 

This panel will ask how we can begin to address the 

practitioner-researcher gap in journalism. Inspired by the 

recent publication of Valérie Bélair-Gagnon and Nikki 

Usher’s Journalism Research that Matters. How can 

research be used to improve journalism? More specifically, 

we will ask: How can we do, communicate, and 

leverage our research in a way that newsrooms can use to 

effect change? Anticipated outcomes of this panel include 

idea generation about how researchers and journalists 

can better work together towards shared aims; and the 

formation of a loose community of practice, which will 

work to develop and enact those ideas.

Steven Waldman is a nationally known veteran journalist 

and social entrepreneur dedicated to saving journalism. 

He is president and co-founder of Report for America, a 

national service program that places emerging journalists 

into local newsrooms across the country to report on 

under-covered issues. The organization is now placing 

300 journalists in newsrooms across all 50 states, Puerto 

Rico and Guam in 2022. He is also the founder and chair 

of the Rebuild Local News Coalition, which advocates 

for public policy to help save local news. Both are initiatives 

of the GroundTruth Project. Previously Waldman 

worked as national editor of U.S. News & World Report, 

national correspondent for Newsweek, and as senior 

advisor to the chairman of the Federal Communications 

Commission. At the FCC he was the prime author of the 

landmark report “Information Needs of Communities” in 

2011 which sounded the alarm about the decline of local 

news. He is author of the national bestseller, Founding 

Faith and the award-winning Sacred Liberty.

oldest publications in the state. It continues online as the

Joshua Darr, Ph.D. 

2022 Carnegie Fellow 

Congratulations to Joshua Darr, associate 

professor at Louisiana State University’s 

Manship School of Mass Communication, one 

of only 28 scholars nationwide to be selected 

as a 2022 Andrew Carnegie Fellow. 

The fellowship will support his research project, 

“Partnering with Local News to Reduce Polarization.”

PREPARING TODAY’S – AND TOMORROW’S – STUDENTS 

FOR THE NEWSROOMS OF THE FUTURE 

At the Mayborn School of Journalism, we’re 

pleased to be a part of two important initiatives 

to help create newsrooms that look more like the 

audiences they serve. 

We’re one of only two schools to be selected 

for the Scripps Howard Foundation’s Emerging 

Journalists program for high schoolers, and one 

of only 17 chosen for NBCUniversal’s inaugural 

NBCU Academy. Each program comes with 

substantial financial backing, mentorship and 

exposure to the real working world of journalism. 

We’re now more than a year into each of these 

programs and the results are impressive. Our 

students are interacting regularly with some of the 

top professionals in the business, and their work 

is being published in major media outlets. All of 

that comes on top of substantial faculty research 

and comprehensive education for our 1,000 

students in print/digital, broadcast, advertising, 

public relations and photojournalism. 

As a Hispanic-Serving Institution (HIS) 

and Minority-Serving Institution (MSI), the 

University of North Texas is committed to

Voces Oral History Summer Institute 2023 

June 2023 – Austin and via Zoom 

vocessummerinstitute.org 

This weeklong workshop is for faculty and graduate students 

wishing to use oral history in research and teaching. For the 

beginner, intermediate and advanced scholar. 

Chief Instructors 

Maggie Rivas-Rodriguez, Ph.D. 

Professor of Journalism and Media, The University of Texas at 

Austin; Founder and Director, Voces Oral History Project; 

Founder and Editor, US Latina & Latino Oral History Journal 

Todd Moye, Ph.D. 

Professor of History, University of North Texas 

Former Director, Tuskegee Airmen Oral History Project; 2017- 

2018, Former President, Oral History Association 

Vinicio Sinta 

University of Texas at Arlington: 

“The stories that people share in oral history interviews provide 

powerful insights not only on the facts and events they relate, but 

also on how narrators make sense of the world and their place in it. 

As communication and media educators, this research also gives 

students—both emerging journalists and social scientists—with 

experiential opportunities to build their interviewing, listening and 

information management skills.” 

George Daniels 

University of Alabama: 

“Since attending the Institute 

in 2018, I’ve made my first 

presentation at an Oral History 

conference and produced 

more than a dozen oral history 

interviews. My first sole-authored 

book will be based, in part, on oral 

historical research. And, this past 

semester, I mentored a master’s 

student on a community-based 

oral history project. Each of 

these accomplishments—the 

presentation, the book contract, 

the student being able to do 

oral history—are gifts that are 

directly traced back to the Voces 

Institute.” 

Melita Garza 

Texas Christian University: 

“Voces helped me quickly develop 

a compelling, ethically sound 

oral history project--one that has 

already piqued interest from top 

academic publishers. Managing 

all the pieces of these projects— 

from legal releases, to archiving, 

to finding the right equipment— 

just to name three, might seem 

overwhelming. Voces offered 

a primer that made the steps 

clear-cut and made my project 

feasible.”
