------------
The UCSD Department of Communication plans to appoint a senior faculty
member (Associate Professor to Professor) starting with the 2001-2002
academic year. The appointee will hold a dual affiliation with the
Communication Department and UCSD's new Center for Research on
Educational Equity and Teaching Excellence (CREATE). The Department of
Communication is an interdisciplinary department with a faculty drawn
from a variety of social science and humanities fields. Its
distinguished faculty (5 Guggenheim Fellows and other award winners)
come together in their research and teaching interest in the various
media of communication, including language, print, film and theater,
broadcasting as well as web/internet/information technology. CREATE is a
new academic unit whose mission includes improving education and
educational opportunity in San Diego. The Communication/CREATE faculty
member would be a full member of the Communication Department. His or
her CREATE affiliation would mean teaching at least one course per year
that supports CREATE as part of normal teaching responsibilities in the
Communication Department. It would also be expected that the faculty
member would undertake research in connection with one or more of
CREATE's partner K-l2 schools in San Diego. We especially seek scholars
who study communication processes in relation to diversity and equity
issues. This interest can be expressed in a variety of theoretical and
empirical domains, including the influence of race, class, gender and
national identity on educational achievement, technology as a
transforming and stratifying practice, communication practices in
classrooms, schools, and communities.
