>>
>>
>>Towson University and Kyiv-Mohyla Academy in Ukraine are now accepting

>>Science or Journalism to participate in our summer 2006 seminar on 
>>"Establishing
>>Media Literacy in post-Communist Universities" that will take place in Kyiv,
>>Ukraine.
>>
>>The program will provide an interdisciplinary discussion of media studies for
>>junior faculty from Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, drawing on
>>various theories that are used for analyzing the relationship 
>>between the media
>>and its place in society. The theoretical study of the media and its broader
>>cultural, economic and political implications will be explored.
>>
>>The goal of the project is to encourage a re-thinking of contemporary
>>scholarship in the region by offering seminars facilitated by 
>>leading media studies
>>academics from Western and East European universities. These scholars will
>>introduce junior faculty from Eastern Europe and the former Soviet 
>>Union to new
>>content and methods of teaching by comparing and contrasting North American,
>>British, Continental and Soviet/post-Soviet media research models that will
>>enable participants to strengthen their critical ability to make 
>>sense of the way
>>the media reflect or influence society. The program will serve as a catalyst
>>for post-Communist universities to develop relevant curricula based on the
>>content and methods of teaching offered at the summer program.
>>
>>The program will provide travel, lodging and meals for participants. Selected
>>participants will be notified of their acceptance to the program by mid-June.
