Melissa Foster

Foster will utilize grant winnings to create a Pressbook for Media and Citizenship. This multi-section text will cover content not currently available in one textbook. Work will also include interviews with media professionals and literature reviews utilizing peer-reviewed research. The Racial Justice component of this grant award will add racial justice topics to each of the 12 units in the course. This will include videos, discussions and assignments centered around stereotypes, propaganda, voter suppression, implicit bias and marginalization in journalism.
