algorithmic accountability, new newsroom technologies and<br>
journalism tools, critical information studies, critical data<br>
studies, and universal design, this multidisciplinary area of<br>
inquiry addresses issues of bias, diversity, equity, and exclusion<br>
in information and global media systems. We welcome a diverse range<br>
of applicants whose scholarship, newsroom experiences, design and<br>
visual communication practice, journalistic work, and/or public<br>
impact work in Information Justice would contribute to our programs<br>
in Information Justice in Journalism, Art + Design, or<br>
Communication Studies.<br>
<br>

environmental issues;<br>
* In Journalism: justice-oriented data investigations, data-driven<br>
