Reception following
Anthropologist and filmmaker Faye Ginsburg is Director of the Center for Media, Culture and History, and co-Director of the Center for Religion and Media at New York University, where she is David B. Kriser Professor of Anthropology. Recipient of numerous honors and awards including MacArthur and Guggenheim Fellowships and grants from Ford, Rockefeller, and the Pew Charitable Trusts, her work focuses on cultural activism in different contexts, from right to life women in the abortion debate to the work of indigenous filmmakers.

Pertinent to our class given Prof. Ginsburg's extensive work and research in the theory and practice of indigenous media... she'll be challenging what we understand "global media" to be. More information at the Pembroke Center website.
