Research from communication studies faculty member Ulises Mejias is among the Oswego expertise appearing next week on The Academic Minute.
Six Oswego faculty experts shared their research on The Academic Minute when the college did a weeklong takeover of the service, a recurring feature on 70 public radio stations around the country and the influential Inside Higher Ed daily publication.
Their entries ran May 24 to 28 on the daily module which features top researchers from colleges and universities around the world.
Based out of National Public Radio affiliate WAMC, the Academic Minute keeps listeners abreast of what is new and exciting in the academy by featuring different professors each day with updates on groundbreaking research and how it helps listeners better understand the world around them. The show’s host is Lynn Pasquerella, president of the Association of American Colleges and Universities.
