Andrisani, Pearson and Harewood at the FPA excellence award<\/p><\/div>\n
Bridging the gap between media theory and experiential learning, Andrisani encourages students to develop various forms of media creation that respond to real-world issues. First year communication students get to develop media such as mock op-eds, infographics, and video content.<\/p>\n
In 2021 Andrisani also created the audio show, \u201cThe place of sound,\u201d which allows workshop students to present their communication ideas on a podcast that airs biweekly on CKCU, the campus radio station.<\/p>\n
In presenting the faculty\u2019s second teaching excellence award to Matthew Pearson, Mendeloff said the committee was struck by Pearson\u2019s dedication to teaching innovation and his sensitivity to diversity and the wellbeing of students. He noted in particular Matthew\u2019s ground-breaking and innovative work on trauma-informed reporting, including a project that had students conduct interviews in a simulation with actors to heighten awareness of trauma-informed journalism.<\/p>\n
Matthew joined the school in 2020 and taught his first year entirely online. He has been a trail blazer in creating the TAKE CARE approach to trauma-informed reporting and designing and delivering the first stand-alone course of its kind in a journalism school in Canada. That course included a novel simulation exercise that saw students interview professional actors who were portraying trauma survivors.<\/p>\n
In his remarks, Matthew said it was teaching that drew him to Carleton and he recalled, with emotion, how rewarding it is to be able to watch the progression of the journalism careers of former students.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne of the great things I love about teaching journalism is seeing students progress in their careers. And we can often watch this happen in real time, we read their stories in the newspaper, we see them on TV, we hear them on the radio when we\u2019re waking up,\u201d Pearson said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s amazing to do this job in a public way and see people go on to do the things they want to do.\u201d<\/p>\n
