Joan Connell – Professor Emeritus
It’s a tough world out there for professional communicators. Social media continues to alter the way news is produced and consumed. And our current chaotic political and cultural landscape has provided news editorial, public relations, and visual journalism majors in my Mass Media Ethics classes with no shortage of topics to grapple with in the 2018-19 academic year.
Brian J. Bowe – Faculty Update
If nothing else, 2019 is shaping up to be a year of expanding international horizons for me.
As I write this, I’m living in Amman, Jordan as a Fulbright scholar. I’m teaching master’s students in the University of Jordan’s Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II School of International Studies. I’m also studying the Jordanian Arabic dialect, and learning how to play the oud. Amman is a fascinating and vibrant city, although the winter is turning out to be just as cold and rainy as it is in Bellingham.
