Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) named Jennifer Woodard as the new program coordinator for the school’s Social Justice Journalism concentration, according to the university’s online academic catalog.
Woodard (pictured above), a Ph.D. in mass communication from Indiana University-Bloomington and an MTSU alumna, is an expert in “diversity, equity and inclusion,” “race, class, gender and media issues,” and “mediated representations of women” according to her university faculty bio.
Woodard did not answer The Star when asked what “social justice journalism” is and why she presumably believes it is important.
