During the Fall 2010 semester, I will be a visiting lecturer at Tufts University through the Experimental College, a department that focuses on “educational innovation, expansion of the undergraduate curriculum.”
As a lecturer, I am teaching a class titled “Sports Journalism in the Internet Age.” The goal of the course, which I designed myself, is to challenge students to think critically about media and examine works of sports journalism both in terms of writing mechanics and as literature. We will also look at how sports journalism is evolving to meet the demands of a digital marketplace.
Students will keep blogs throughout the course of the semester as well as produce a multimedia work of sports journalism as a final project.
