We welcome especially applicants who are early career scholars, advanced graduate students, and independent scholars whose work focuses on the intersectional study of media (broadly defined) from the critical perspectives of Global Indigenous Studies, critical race studies, transpacific studies, Pacific Islander Studies, Ainu Studies, Okinawan Studies, and decolonization theory.
