CSWS Associate Director Gabriela Martínez Selected as Resident Scholar by UO’s Wayne Morse Center

CSWS associate director Gabriela Martínez is one of two University of Oregon professors selected as a 2014-15 Resident Scholar by UO’s Wayne Morse Center. In its recent news release, the Wayne Morse Center noted that each year the center “hosts two University of Oregon faculty members as resident scholars, one from the School of Law and one from another UO department, and with the support of the Graduate School, the center also awards two fellowships to Ph.D. candidates.”

Gabriela Martinez, associate professor in the School of Journalism and Communication, “builds on her work in Latin America in ‘Media, Democracy and the Construction of Collective Memory.’ The project focuses on how media shape collective memories, and what it means to ‘construct’ collective/historical memory through media. She will examine how media production can address human rights violations, promote social change and strengthen democratic practices.” — for the complete announcement by the Wayne Morse Center, go to: Wayne Morse Center announces resident scholars and dissertation fellows | Around the O.
