Best, Karen Cheng -------------------------------------------------------- From: Anne Burdick <burdick@artcenter.edu> Greetings Friends and Alumni of the MDP-- I am happy to announce that we are searching for a unique faculty position for a new track called "Media Design Matters" that is a collaboration between the MDP and Art Center's renowned Designmatters Initiative. We are looking for a full-time faculty member with a background in Sociology, Anthropology, Social Practices, Media Studies, or Science and Technology Studies to begin Summer 2011. The candidate will work with other faculty from design backgrounds to develop a new curriculum that brings together media design, social research, public policy, and information technologies to address social issues in an applied context. The MDM curriculum will be built around an 8-month team-based project conducted in the field in partnership with an NGO, development agency, national non-profit or local community. It combines the best of the MDP's Superstudio curriculum (2001-09) with Designmatters' successful social impact projects. Our first project partner for 2012 will be the U.S. Fund for UNICEF. Please circulate this announcement far and wide and send us the names of potential candidates for this extraordinary opportunity to participate in the development of an emerging field! Best regards!
