Technology Studies
The Communication, Culture & Technology (CCT) M.A. program at Georgetown University focuses on the relationship between new computational technologies of communication and areas such as science, scholarship, culture, government, media, business, journalism, and the arts. The program is developing a new lab, which will be a hub of technology knowledge, discovery and research, connecting CCT and Georgetown to the larger world of practice and innovation in all sectors where technology is central. In particular, the lab will provide a means for CCT to create partnerships with leading private sector information organizations developing innovations in digital media, knowledge management, and Internet applications; to remain at the forefront of research by creating relationships with initiatives in the Digital Humanities and the Information Schools; and push forward the boundaries of knowledge through external support by agencies and foundations such as NSF and Mellon.
The program seeks to appoint a tenure-track Assistant Professor with a strong interdisciplinary expertise in approaches to the study of technology, including history, theory, and current methodologies. The appointee will direct the new CCT lab, which will include growing the lab, forming external relations, and pushing toward more cutting-edge, experimental new media technology. Applicants must be proficient in teaching the technical aspects of how technologies work and how such technologies are employed in communication-related fields. The appointee will be expected to help develop and execute a new Fundamentals of Technology course, a core course in the CCT curriculum, with a focus on the practicum component, and to have scholarly publications and teaching experience at the graduate level (or comparable), and be prepared to advise and to mentor M.A. thesis projects.
