THE MARION L. BRITTAIN FELLOWS PROGRAM
Overview
In 1990, as part of a broad new emphasis in digital media, Georgia Tech established the Marion L. Brittain Fellows Program. Brittain Fellows are recent Ph.D.s in English, Film, Communications, Rhetoric, or Technical Communication and with interests in electronic pedagogy and cultural studies of science and technology. Appointments are competitive, and current Fellows represent some 20 universities. Appointed to the Georgia Tech faculty with Instructor rank for up to three sequential one-year appointments, they teach three sections each term in Georgia Tech's Communications Program.
In addition to teaching, Fellows participate in one or more semester-long reading groups that address the theory of electronic pedagogy, applied electronic pedagogy, and the theory and practice of technical communication. Fellows can work with senior faculty mentors to complete a Post-Doctoral Certificate Program in Electronic Pedagogy.
LCC offers a B.S. in Computational Media, M.S. in Digital Media, and a Ph.D. in Digital Media studies, as well as a B.S. in the cultural studies of science and technology (STAC). LCC's three communications courses are informed by these emphases. They are supported by an extensive virtual environment and encourage both faculty experimentation with digital media and the creation of second semester freshman courses informed by the research interests of individual faculty.
Fellows receive offices, computers, some travel funds, opportunities to participate in faculty reading groups, and assistance with professional development. The majority of Fellows alumni have moved to tenure-track appointments.
