The State of Communication
' NYSCA 61st ANNUAL CONFERENCE PROGRAM October 24 - 26, 2003 The Hudson Valley Resort & Spa 400 Granite Road, Kerhonkson, NY 12446 New York: The State of Communication: Celebrating our accomplishments 1 Questioning our assumptions New York is the state of communication. It is home to many of the world's communication industries, including advertising, public relations, publishing, television, and film. New York's colleges and universities play a key role in training the next generation of communication professionals. Today's world poses unique challenges for us as communication scholars and educators. At this point in time, we look at the past, present and future and ask ourselves: What is the state of communication? What are some of the most significant recent achievements in teaching and scholarship? What are the most important questions that communication scholars are asking today? What methods are being used to answer them? What curriculum challenges are we facing? What direction is the field headed? ~--~--------~ - - - - ----~----- ----- - -- - - -- - - - -- - - - - -- - - 5 Reasons for a Public Communications M.A. at Fordham University 5.

Each of these films is distinguished by filmmaker's presence as a first person narrator. After the screening of the films, join in a discussion of contemporary documentary filmmaking. Specifically, what are the most critical challenges for issues for such personal documentary filmmaking, and how does this technique alter the more traditional understanding of the documentary and an "objective" presentation? Grace and the New Rules, Annie J. Howell, New School University (21 :00, video, 2002). T WEDUm HOLL YW EHCJ I An 87-yeiJr old housekeeper, a filmm11k~r. and the conventions or race, c111ss, 11ru1 documentary Itself Grace & the New Rules This film presents an 87 year-old Southern housekeeper, a filmmaker, and the conventions of race, class, and documentary itself. In the film, Grace Avery had cleaned Professor Fleishman's house and picked up his mail for the last 25 years. The narrative concerns the story of the developing relationship between Grace and the filmmaker, and implications for complicated conventions of race, class, and indeed, documentary itself. Seeking the Sultan, Didem Yilmaz, New School University (23 :00, video, 2003). What happened to the members of the Ottoman Family, rulers of Turkey expelled in 1924?

Seven Hours to Burn, Shanti Thakur, Hofstra University (9:00, 16mm film, 1999).

John Downing was educated at Oxford University and the London School of Economics. He taught sociology for the first thirteen years of his academic career, but has been a Communication scholar since 1981, when he joined the faculty at Hunter College, City University of New York. In 1990 he accepted the position of Radio-Television-Film Department Chair at the University of Texas, Austin. In January 2004 he will become the first Director of the new Global Media Research Center in the College of Mass Communication and Media Arts at Southern Illinois University, Carbondale. His published work and teaching address alternative media and social movements; racism, ethnicity and media; political cinemas of the global South; and media in Russia during and since the Communist period. His most recent research has focused upon the international Independent Media Center movement. In 2004 Sage Publications will publish the Handbook of Media Studies, of which he has been chief editor, and a co-authored book with Professor Charles Husband of Bradford University, UK, Representing 'Race', consisting of comparative studies of media, ethnicity and racism. His address to NYSCA will attack a number of failings particularly characteristic of current U.S. Communication research, and especially in the field of media. Eight in all, some of these failings are conceptually derived, some politically derived, and others are a product of the sociology of the U.S. academy. 10 New l'ork State Communication Association. :!003 f'ro~rcm1 2:30- 3:45pm 2.4.1 Dutchess Approaches and Questions to Communication "Questioning Academic Freedom and Affirmative Action : A Case Study in Hypocrisy" Benjamin Sevitch, Connecticut State University "Kafka and McLuhan: A McLuhan Informed Analysis of Kafka's Modernist Embodiment of Law and Communication in The Triaf' Amanda J.E.
