Freedom of speech is a fundamental right of every human being. Press freedom is the life blood of a democracy. Academic freedom is the foundation of education.

Note to self - the first week of classes is stressful for all.

Small boo-boos seem like big pains. Minor changes feel like big obstacles. Little things can trigger us to melt down.

A little kindness, understanding, and flexibility can go a long way.

First day of classes - Fall 2025!!

Ready or not, here we go!! All the best for all students, faculty, and staff. We got this! 👏📚

The most exciting part is that no two classes are ever the same. And we as teachers are constantly learning by teaching.

Congress eliminated public media funding. At a time of deep division, public media brings us together.

A Texas boy needed protection from measles. The vaccine cost $1,400. Due to the ongoing U.S. measles outbreak, a Texas man worried that his young son was at risk and took him to get vaccinated. The cost of the shot? $1,400.

This is oligarchy. This is obscene.

While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%.

End this oligarchy.

The Three Caveats of GPC reviews: 

For initial submissions, we do not request or require any specific formatting or style guide - we do this because not all authors from all regions and disciplines use the same structures, and we don't want to unnecessarily burden authors for initial submissions. Thus, we ask that reviewers refrain from any comments or concerns about formatting, unless the comments specifically address one's ability to understand the manuscript itself. If a paper is accepted at GPC, we will then work directly with Authors to format the work (using the latest APA guidelines and the Oxford in-house style guides), and we have paid staff that focus on production notes. 
As a journal with an authentically global focus, we recognize that while English is a lingua franca of many academic spaces, there are many different Englishes spoken around the world. As such, we ask reviewers to refrain from any comments about authors' grammar or syntax as we have no expectation about these elements on initial submission (again, unless it is an issue of comprehension). If a paper is accepted, again here we will work closely with authors on clarifications where needed (and again, we have a paid production team for these efforts). 
We expect scholarship submitted to GPC to include observations made from anywhere and everywhere, as our colleagues come from all over the world. As such, we ask our reviewers to resist critiques asking authors to justify or contextualize the relevance of their observations simply because those observations come from smaller or local communities. This is not to say that reviewers cannot interrogate sampling and selection, but we ask that those critiques be made within the context of understanding the claims made within the piece being reviewed.

Our first peer review requests are going out today! We'll continue to "massage" our language, but here's how we're codifying our "three caveats" for GPC reviewers - we don't enforce style guides, we don't police Englishes, and we don't ask for rote justification of samples. =)

A big relief to hit “send” on my (fourth) book manuscript.

It is on “Equitable Media Literacies: Pedagogies and Practices for Healthy Civic Futures” - a timely and important topic.

With my amazing coauthors: Paul Mihailidis, Patrick R. Johnson, Bobbie Foster, Shannon Burth & Melissa Tully!
