讲座题目：媒介帝国主义再探讨（ Revisiting the Concept of Media Imperialism） 演讲地点：理教213 演讲时间：5月28日（周二）13:00-15:00 演讲者：Joseph Oliver Boyd-Barrett教授，美国博灵格林州立大学媒体与传播学院新闻系（Department of Journalism, School of Media and Communication, Bowling Green State University, Ohio） Joseph Oliver Boyd-Barrett教授简历： Dr J. Oliver Boyd-Barrett (2012) SUMMARY Administration From July 2005 to August 2008, I held the position of Director of the School of Communication Studies (renamed during my period in office as the School of Media and Communication) at Bowling Green State University, Ohio. In this capacity I oversaw three departments (Interpersonal Communication, Journalism, Telecommunications) totaling approximately 40 tenured and tenure-track faculty, in addition to full-time lecturers and instructors, plus a full-time staff of one administrative assistant, three secretaries and a technician. Facilities at the School include radio and television teaching studios and digital editing suites. The School caters to a population of over 1000 undergraduate majors, and 75 master’s and doctoral students. Faculty work closely with student media organizations: a daily newspaper, other periodic print publications, FM and AM radio, radio sports news, and a public radio station, WBGU-TV27. During 2006-2007 I directed and contributed to the process of the School’s Program Review. The self-study was completed in the fall of 2006. The report of the Program Review Committee notes the external reviewers’ recommendation that the University “maintain the competent and stable leadership exemplified by Director Oliver Boyd-Barrett, who has the needed experience and faculty support.” Faculty colleagues consistently rated me very highly as Director, and the College consistently noted that I exceed expectations. I voluntarily stepped down from the role of Director in fall 2008 to concentrate on writing. My previous administrative service has included: spells as associate and sub-dean for the Faculty of Education at the Open University (U.K.) (4 years); director of distance learning at the Centre for Mass Communication Research at the University of Leicester (U.K.) (4 years); associate dean of the College of the Extended University at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona (3 years); and a variety of committee and project management assignments at the Open University and elsewhere. While professor for the Department of Communication at Cal Poly Pomona, I chaired a variety of departmental committees, and represented the department on four College committees. Research I directed the first comparative study and authored the resulting book about the major western-based international news agencies (see The International News Agencies, and Le Trafic des Nouvelles, among other publications), co-authored the first book-length study of alternative news agencies (see Contra-Flow in Global News, which was referenced in a 1991 speech by UNESCO’s Director General), and through several publications I significantly advanced the study of national news agencies (see, for example, my 2010 edited volume News Agencies in the Turbulent Era of the Internet; my 1998 co-edited book The Globalization of News, and my 2001 report on behalf of UNESCO, News Agencies in the Era of the Internet). I have given keynote addresses to annual meetings of the Organization of Asian News Agencies, in December 2007 and April 2010, annual seminars of the European Alliance of Press Agencies, twice in 1999 (Athens and Geneva), once in 2009 (Cyprus), and the third annual world congress of news agencies in 2010 (Buenos Aires and Barioloche). Current works include a study of the largest independent business and political news agency in Russia, Interfax, and (with Daya Thussu) a reappraisal of media imperialism theory. My research in the field of educational communication includes contributions to a co-edited book on educational computing (Computers and Learning), a co-edited, co-authored book on processes of education reform (Education Reform in Democratic Spain), and publications on the application of technologies to distance learning (including my contribution to Digital Academe, edited by Dutton and Loader). My current media research has three principal streams: (1) International and national news agencies, including both the traditional “wire services” as well as a newer generation of news media represented by 24/7 television news services (three recent articles, including one each in the International Journal of Communication, and in Global Media Studies on Al Jazeera and Telesur) and a chapter in Cushion and Lewis (eds) The Rise of 24 Hour News Television: Global Perspectives. (2) Mainstream and alternative media representations, framing and re-framing of the “war on terrorism” in the broader context of reporting of war and international conflict. I have had relevant papers published over the 2000s in Global Media and Communication, Journal of International Communication; and Journalism Studies; and chapters in various edited collections, including David Demers’, Terrorism, Globalization and Mass Communication, two volumes (Reporting War; and Journalism: Critical Issues), edited by Stuart Allan and published by Routledge and Open University Press, respectively; a recent Routledge volume (Media on the Move) edited by Daya Thussu, and edited collections Communicating War, edited by Sarah Maltby and Richard Keeble, published by Arima; Peace Journalism, War and Conflict Resolution, published by Peter Lang and edited by Richard Keeble, and Afghanistan, War and the Media, published by Arima and edited by Richard Keeble and John Mair. I am editor and contributor for a book published in 2006 by John Libbey, entitled Communications Media, Globalization and Empire. I am co-editor with Anthony Hoskins of a Routledge book series on War, Media and Security. (3) Hollywood representations. This is a fairly new departure, but relates back to my interest in media and war. My book (with co-authors David Herrera and Jim Baumann), Hollywood and the CIA: Cinema, Defense and Security, was published by Routledge in London in spring 2011. We also have a chapter in a Sage reader, Media and Terrorism, edited by Denis Freedman and Daya Thussu for 2012. I have authored, co-authored, edited or co-edited 20 books and major reports, of which two have been translated into Chinese, and one into French, and have authored well over 120 other scholarly publications, in addition to reports, translations, conference addresses. I am North American editor of the Sage journal Global Media and Communication, and a member of the editorial advisory board for the Sage journal Journalism: Theory, Practice and Criticism. Other editorial advisory board memberships include or have included Journal of Communication; Communication, Culture and Critique; The Chinese Journal of Communication; Journal of Intercultural Communication Research; Journal of Global Mass Communication; International Journal of Media and Foreign Affairs, and the Journal of Mass Communication at Francis Marion University, Telematics and Informatics. I regularly review articles and book-length manuscripts on behalf of many mainstream academic book and journal publishers in the communications field. In October 2004, I was elected Vice Chair of the Intercultural/Development Communication Division of the International Communication Association and, following a vote in 2006 to divide this division into two, I became founder Chair of the resulting new division for Global Communications and Social Change for the period 2007-2009. I was invited by the presidents of both the International Communication Association and the International Association for Mass Communication Research as panelist for the IAMCR’s 50th anniversary in Paris, 2007, to discuss media studies and globalization. At the School of Communications Studies at Bowling Green State University I have facilitated the setting up, in full consultation with interested colleagues, research clusters in emerging media technologies, health communication, intercultural and international/development communication, and communication theory. Among many other projects, I have supported School colleagues in the Middle East Partnership Initiative, establishing and nurturing ties to Manouba University in Tunisia, and to the Universite d’Alger in Algeria. Teaching I have taught extensively on undergraduate, masters and doctoral programs, including research degree supervision and examining, and have acted as external examiner or advisor for a range of institutions. From its beginnings and for many years I worked in the highly innovative environment of the Open University of the United Kingdom, a chartered university mainly dedicated to distance learning, now teaching over 200,000 students each year. For the Open University, I authored and contributed to original print and audio-visual components of a range of courses in both communications and education, in addition to chairing course teams, tuition, examining and administration of courses. At the University of Leicester’s Centre for Mass Communication Research I established and directed a master’s program in mass communication (with both taught and dissertation components) that was and is still offered globally by means of distance learning. At both the Open University and Leicester I wrote and edited many teaching texts, all of them subject to strict peer review, including several books that were externally published (e.g. see Approaches to Media, Media in Global Context, The Media Book). Courses (undergraduate) that I taught (2001-2005) for California State Polytechnic University, Pomona (where I was appointed tenured, full professor) included Information Gathering and Writing; Communication Theory; Propaganda, Public Opinion and Mass Media; Political Economy of Mass Communications, and Advanced Communication Research. I received high evaluations from students and peers. Courses that I currently teach at graduate and undergraduate levels at Bowling Green State University include Political Economy of Mass Communication; Political Economy of Hollywood and the Press; The International News Agencies; Media, War and Propaganda; Communication Pedagogy; International Media; Telecommunications Policy and Regulation; Media and Society and, scheduled for summer 2011, Researching Hollywood. I have advised many graduate students at masters and doctoral levels. Project Management I have been involved as researcher, project manager or contributor in several international and national projects including projects for BBC/Open University; California State University; Dubai Television; European Alliance of Press Agencies; Generalitat de Catalunya; Interfax News Agency; Organization of Asia-Pacific News Agencies; NATO, Parliamentary Office of Technology (U.K.), Royal Commission on the Press (U.K.), UNESCO, and USIA. I recently (2011) evaluated a newly proposed graduate program in media studies for the American University of Beirut.
