By selling red ribbons for World AIDS Day, students can express an interest in the world around them. It is quite hard to think of anything ~T~ regarding the world when you are faced with exams, classes, meetings and of course, parties. Very rarely do you see a large group of students direct their attention and time Tk~ to a worthy world cause. The AIDS Quilt will be an opportunity for students to rise above the petty problems of their daily lives, and focus on a situation that is neither temporary or escapable.

It includes work about the changing structures of the media, focusing particularly on work about the political and economic forces and social relations which shape and are shaped by media institutions, struc- tural changes in policy formation and enforcement, technological transfor- mations in the means of communication, and the relationships of all these to public and private cultures worldwide. Historical research about the media and intellectual histories pertaining to media research and theory are partic- ularly welcome. Emphasizing the role of social and political theory for in- forming and shaping research about communications media, Critical Media Studies addresses the politics of media institutions at national, subnational, and transnational levels.

  • The Chowdah Head Rules: Picking the Best Made Our Expert Feel a Little Clammy
    The Chowdah Head Rules: Picking the best made our expert feel a little clammy When my editor asked me to write an article about the best clam cakes and New England clam chowder in Rhode Island, my first question was, “Will you provide me with a group of security guards to protect me from the violent mobs when the article comes out?” To put it gently, Rhode Islanders are rabid about their chowder. Each individual feels like whatever the chowder they grew up on is the best chowder in the state, hands down, without question. And you’d be an idiot to feel differently. This became an issue for me. “I know chowder,” I stupidly thought to myself as I accepted the assignment. “I love going to seafood restaurants. I get chowder wherever it’s available. I am a creamy, clammy connoisseur. This will be nice and easy.” I was so, so, so wrong. After jotting down my thoughts, I decided get other peoples’ opinions from some RI restaurant Facebook groups hoping to hear about some places I never tried. A few hours later, I found myself making an extensive, intimidating spreadsheet to catalog the 700-plus unexpected responses. It shocked me that there were so many places I hadn’t tried — some I hadn’t even heard of — and it hit me like a ton of clams; I was in trouble. I couldn’t comfortably write the article with only my casual knowledge. These people cared too much about the title for me to treat it so informally. I recorded all of the restaurants suggested and how many times each was suggested.
