CanWest Global Fellowship in Media – Western University -
Deadline for receipt of applications — July 1, 2013 or until position is filled.

The Faculty of Information and Media Studies (FIMS) at Western University invites applications for the CanWest Global Fellowship in Media. The role of the Fellow is to promote public discussion of a range of issues related to the nature of Canadian media. The successful candidate will be in residence for one term, to be negotiated: the fall 2013 term or the winter 2014 term. The successful applicant will also receive a stipend of $20,000 which includes benefits for the term, and up to $10,000 to support research activities during the tenure of the fellowship. The amount available to support the fellow’s research will depend upon the scope of the proposed project and an approved budget, to be determined in consultation with the Dean and Associate Dean. The relative balance of stipend and research funding may be adjusted to provide sufficient compensation for a successful candidate who must take a leave from a full-time Journalism position to take up the fellowship.

Guest Editors: Jeremy Stolow and Alexandra Boutros

We invite authors to submit proposals that explore this cluster of concerns with reference to diverse themes, cases, and theoretical considerations ...

Deadline for proposals: May 3, 2013

Deadline for complete submissions: November 1, 2013
