We welcome applicants for the inaugural USC Annenberg Summer Institute on Diversity in Media and Culture, June 16-20, 2014. The Institute will bring together exemplary doctoral students and faculty members from across the disciplines of Communication and Media Studies and around the nation to discuss issues of race, gender and difference in media, within the shifting conditions of technology, production, circulation and consumption as well as the shifting discourse of difference in the areas of politics, culture and globalization. Approximately 20 doctoral students will be chosen to participate based on submitted papers and recommendations from their advisors.

The Institute will be divided into workshop sessions that feature current work from Institute faculty (listed below) and research seminars in which all participants present and discuss their own work-in-progress.

Internationalizing Postgraduate Studies

International Communication Association newsletter
Student Column: Internationalizing Postgraduate Studies
Anne Kaun, ICA Student Board Member, Sodertorn U/ U of Pennsylvania

The current issue of the ICA Newsletter includes a student column on internationalizing postgraduate studies. It begins:

“Internationalization has long been an important issue for the ICA. Although the name indicates that the association is per se international, this has not been a given fact on different levels (e.g. awards, fellowships) and internationalization remains one of the priorities for the ICA as the current presidential candidates Amy Jordan and Sharon Strover stress. That an international association should be truly international is out of question, but how international do PhD candidates have to be? And what does internationalization of PhD studies actually mean in different contexts?

I have asked a PhD-student and two postdoc scholars about what it means to be international from their perspective. The three following statements derive from three very different contexts, namely USA, China and Sweden, and are giving some inside into what internationalization of post-graduate studies might be.”

Go to the original column to read the statements.
