[Jeremy Hunsinger]

The Temple University Media Education Lab is seeking a research  
fellow for the 2007-2008 academic year to collaborate on research  
related to copyright and fair use issues for media literacy  
educators. Copyright issues directly affect educators in K-12, higher  
education and non-school settings across all distribution platforms.  
At the present time, copyright exceptions for educational use may or  
may not apply to activities that are now becoming central to media  
literacy education. For example, student media technology projects  
undertaken as homework may not be protected by the classroom use  
exemption. A student-produced media project displayed on a class Web  
page, blog, or wiki extends beyond the classroom walls and, as a  
result, could open up potential liabilities. Because of concern about  
potential litigation, students and teachers from elementary school to  
university may be discouraged from creating materials using remixing  
practices and may have a negative impact on the quality and character  
of media literacy education in the United States. The research fellow  
would work collaboratively with faculty at the Media Education Lab  
and the Center for Social Media at American University on the  
preparation of research reports based on extensive interview data  
with media literacy educators. The research fellow will also  
contribute to the development of publications for scholarly, peer- 
reviewed journals. This opportunity would be ideal for an individual  
with interests in communication law and policy, K-12 education, and  
media literacy. Ph.D. in media studies, education or sociology  
preferred, although exceptional candidates near degree completion may  
also be considered. Temple University is an equal opportunity, equal  
access, affirmative action employer committed to achieving a diverse  
community. Women and minority candidates are encouraged to apply.  
Please send resume, writing sample, and names of three references to:  
Professor Renee Hobbs, Temple University School of Communications and  
Theater, 2020 North 13th Street, Media Education Lab, 1A Annenberg  
Hall, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19122.
