Instructing Intersectionality: Critical and Practical Strategies for the Journalism and Mass Communication Classroom Edited By Nathian Shae Rodriguez — The AEJMC Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender & Queer Interest GroupThis edited volume will guide instructors through the practice of integrating intersectionality into courses and curriculum in both undergraduate and graduate courses. The chapters will incorporate phenomenology and real-life examples from authors who have employed intersectional content and strategies in their own respective teaching and research to help instructors create more inclusive, critical, and reflective educational spaces. This edited volume will not only offer tips, strategies, case studies, and activities, but also invaluable sagacity that comes from the lived experiences of the authors, most of whom will be from intersectionally diverse backgrounds. The focus of the collection will be to teach intersectionality, rather than on understanding intersectionality itself. |

Teaching Media Ethics: Integrating Ethics Across the Mass Communication Curriculum
Edited By Nicole Kraft and Kathleen Bartzen Culver – The AEJMC Media Ethics Division Teaching Media Ethics gives journalism and mass communication instructors the ideas and tools they need to effectively incorporate media ethics into courses across the curriculum. It covers ethics-intensive courses from the undergraduate to the graduate level, as well as how to incorporate ethics into other classes related to reporting and strategic communication. The volume also includes nine chapters focused on key specializations, such as sports and social media, and critical issues, such as reporting on mental health. It offers thought-provoking chapters on diversifying the ethics curriculum, inclusive teaching practices and challenges to traditional notions of media ethics. The only book of its kind in the realm of media ethics, this volume aims not to teach students directly but instead to “teach teachers” how to address ethics in their own classrooms and engage students effectively. It emphasizes practical advice and suggestions for activities and resources. Teaching Media Ethics has something for instructors at all stages of their careers and should be particularly useful to graduate students and faculty who are developing their approaches to journalism and mass communication classes. The authors, leading ethicists and award-winning teachers, approached their chapters with an emphasis on making it as easy as possible to deliver teaching in ethics. |

Teaching Race: Struggles, Strategies, and Scholarship for the Mass Communication Classroom
Edited By George L. Daniels and Robin Blom – The AEJMC Minorities and Communication Division When it comes to teaching about race, journalism and mass communication faculty from various backgrounds must deliver instruction that acknowledges the challenges surrounding the topic while facilitating the learning of undergraduate and graduate students. Race should be a topic infused across the curriculum at the undergraduate and graduate level in institutions large and small, public and private. This takes a holistic approach with authors from a range of racial and ethnic backgrounds at small, mid-size, and large research institutions offering their insights. More than teaching tips, the chapters here offer wisdom grounded in the research of the scholarship of teaching and learning, which allows scholars to both inform their teaching with empirical research and share successful pedagogy with others. |
