An internet based course for credit or non-credit is being offered by the University of Missouri St. Louis this Spring 2010. The 16 week course is on the topic of Development Communication. The course will focus on the failure of modernization theory and practice to deliver a substantial change in developing nations. It will be from a non-western perspective and it will examine how media function and for whom in poor nations.
Covered in detail will be cultural imperialism, participatory communication theory, education-entertainment theory, the digital divide and the role of women as well as NGOs in development. The textbook is Development Communication: Reframing the Role of the Media (Wiley-Blackwell, 2009) by Tom McPhail who also teaches the course.
There is a series of 1 hour weekly video lectures by McPhail, plus a series of web based activities. Students from anywhere in the world – with internet access – may enroll.

Dear fellow PhD candidates
The DRUMBEAT issue created some interest in our network and I feel that it is about time that we took the taks of planning next year’s activities seriously. We have suggestions for a joint seminar with Ipid, research course, online lectures with dreamteam lecturers and reading groups – what else is on your wish list?

Also, the list of members and research profiles is currently being updated, please consult it to see what the fellow members are up to and take the opportunity to revise your own profile… I will be back shortly with a brief update on planning and where abouts.
/Johanna

Applications are sought for the Ambedkar Sanskrit Fellowship at Columbia University in the City of New York. This is a five-year award covering tuition and stipend. One fellowship will be awarded for the academic year 2010-11 (deadline for application to the Department of Middle East, South Asia, and African Studies is January 4, 2010), and, it is anticipated, two more in each of the following two years. Applicants are expected to have completed work at the Master's level prior to admission. Preliminary inquiries, including a brief statement of purpose explaining what the applicant intends to study and why that course of study, may be directed to Sheldon Pollock, sp2356@columbia.edu
