[Mail forwarded by Xonzoi Barbora] Dear friends,
Greetings from the School of Media and Cultural Studies (SMCS) at the Tata Institute of Social Sciences! And apologies for cross-posting :) We are introducing a new Post-Graduate Diploma programme in Community Media (2012-2013), in addition to our existing MA programme in Media and Cultural Studies. The course is also being offered as a Dual Degree for TISS alumni who have a Master's degree from the Institute. The course is designed for social workers, community activists and cultural organisers who are engaged in grassroots level activities, with the goal of supplementing their field efforts with knowledge, perspectives and skills to enable them to work with communities and facilitate expression of their concerns through the media. The programme will foster among students a critical understanding of the contemporary micro and macro level development issues and prevalent mainstream discourses and help them appreciate the role of community structures, institutions and dynamics in the context of using media for empowerment. The students will also be trained to use tools and technologies to make them proficient in designing, initiating, monitoring and evaluating media programmes in their respective communities. A detailed announcement of the course along with the application form and prospectus can be found on the TISS website: http://tiss.edu/announcement/pgdcm-applications-invited-2012-2013 We would be grateful if you could share this announcement with individuals and organisations who might be interested in joining this programme. Thanking you, Anjali and Jayasankar ______________________________________ Anjali Monteiro, Ph.D., Professor & Dean K.P.
