David Amor

Instructor of Journalism and Anthropology-Sociology, Co-Chair of Journalism

General Interests
"I am interested in the complex interplay among journalists and other media producers, the organizations they work for, larger social and political institutions, and the imaginative and material lives of the ordinary people who work, play, think and dream in a world saturated by the mass media. My goal is to help students make better sense of this ever-changing media matrix as scholars, consumers and citizens."

What Students Say
"The discussions we have in David's classes often feel more like conversations that parallel the kind of focused fervor he brings to the field of social media. He challenges students not only to question and criticize, but also to understand and appreciate the mediated world around them. An accessible and genuinely supportive mentor in and outside class, David always puts his students first."
