Annenberg School

The outbreak of COVID-19 and its ensuing isolation and physical, economic, and existential precarity have forced communities everywhere to contend with new realities. Yet some of these experiences are all too familiar to media practitioners around the world. In this conversation, Center for Media at Risk steering committee member Natacha Yazbeck discusses uncertainty, rights, and resilience with Middle East analyst, columnist, and former journalist Hanin Ghaddar.

The Annenberg School for Communication is pleased to invite graduating seniors, along with their friends and family, to its Communication Major Virtual Graduation Ceremony on May 17, 2020.

VIRTUAL Courses Offered During Summer Session 2: July 2 - August 7

COMM 290: Climate Crisis and Media (Hanna E. Morris)

The University of Pennsylvania is pleased to announce the second Penn Honors Diversity Symposium. The symposium, organized in conjunction with many of Penn's Ph.D. programs, will emphasize student diversity and aims to particularly attract underrepresented students, especially sophomores and juniors, at colleges and universities in the Mid-Atlantic states who are interested in learning more about graduate school.

About the Talk

In the electoral recounts following the 2000 U.S. election, inconsistencies plagued the Florida vote. Poorly designed "butterfly" ballots and hanging chads led to a recount, a supreme court decision, and an array of voting reforms aimed at updating the country's civic infrastructure — and, in many cases, the country's voting machines. Now, twenty years later, we can grasp the implications of these decisions.

Come hear from the Dean of USC Annenberg about what it's like to lead a school of communication and journalism in a time of unprecedented social, culture, and technological change.

Willow Bay joins Dean John Jackson to talk about lessons from her career as a broadcast journalist and digital media editor, what it means to study communication and its related fields and disciplines in the year 2020, how students today look at critical issues that shape their generation, and what that means for how we teach and learn.

Troubling Translation(s), a graduate student conference, will convene Friday, February 21 2:30 to 7 PM and Saturday, February 22 10 AM to 6 PM. The conference will gather in the South Asia Studies Seminar Room (rm 551, Van Pelt-Dietrich Library Center).
