Ji-Hyun Ahn, Ph.D.
Associate Professor
Her teaching goals within the courses are to equip the students with an understanding of critical theories on globalization and to examine many global media cases around the world with critical analysis.
Chris Damaske, Ph.D.
Associate Professor
My teaching at UW Tacoma predominately focuses on courses for our Communication Major, as well as supporting the Law and Policy Major. My course offerings cover both skills-based courses and theory-base courses. My skills courses focus on writing for print media, while my theory courses cover a range of topics from law to history.
Bill Kunz, Ph.D.
Associate Professor
I contribute to two different areas of the Communication curriculum, offering both skills-based courses and theory-based courses. The skills-based courses include our video production sequence as well as a course on nonfiction writing for television. The theory-based courses range from Media & Society at the 200-level to Political Economy of the Media at the 400-level.
Ellen Moore, Ph.D.
CAC Division Co-Chair and Teaching Professor
I love teaching at UW Tacoma! I appreciate the relatively small class size because it fits my preferred Socratic method of teaching that fosters critical thinking through asking appropriate and probing questions that encourages thoughtful, not rote, answers from students. In this way, I encourage students to think actively about the media system that surrounds them, as well as the society in which they live.
Alexandra Leah Nutter, Ph.D.
Associate Teaching Professor and CAC Vice-Chair
Alexandra joined the Communication faculty at UW-Tacoma in 2013. She teaches theory-based courses from TCOM101: Critical Media Literacy to TCOM453: Critical Approaches to Mass Communication and works with students following the major's Research Track.
