Language, Technology and Politics

The Communication, Culture & Technology (CCT) M.A. program at
Georgetown University focuses on the relationship between new
computational technologies of communication and areas such as science,
scholarship, culture, government, media, business, journalism and the
arts. The program seeks to appoint a tenure-track Assistant Professor
working on the relationship between language and technologies of
communication and associated political issues. Candidates whose
research emphasizes technology, internet linguistics, language and
politics, intercultural communication, or language and sex/gender,
race, class or national identity will be given priority. They should
be current in the history, theory, and methodologies of their field.
Applicants who demonstrate classroom experience using new
media/digital teaching approaches, such as student-developed Web
sites, blogs, digital stories, documentary film, and digital
portfolios, are especially encouraged to apply. The successful
candidate will have scholarly publications and teaching experience at
the graduate level (or comparable), and be prepared to advise and to
mentor M.A. thesis projects. Faculty are expected to contribute
broadly to the interdisciplinary research and teaching of the program.
Outstanding candidates may be considered for appointment at a higher
rank. Georgetown University is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity
employer and strongly encourages applications from women and minority
