Christopher Daniel, an Atlanta-based journalist, cultural critic, and historian, will discuss the importance of building a personal brand in the new media space on Wednesday, February 19, at 7 p.m. in Buchner Hall of the college’s Alumnae/i House. During “ArtOfficial ENTelliGents–A Conversation on Multiculturalism, Innovation, and Online Journalism” Daniel will examine the challenges and opportunities of online media—a space that is often thought of as limitless, but can be constrained by issues of race, class, gender and sexuality.
This talk, which is part of Goucher’s celebration of African Heritage Month, is free and open to the public, and no tickets are required. For more information, contact Nsenga K. Burton, chair of the Department of Communication and Media Studies, at nsenga.burton@goucher.edu.
Daniel’s work has been featured on FRANK151/The ATLanta Backwoods, Urban Lux Magazine, TheBurtonWire.com, Hip Hop Enquirer Magazine, and TheRoot.com. He also has served as a U.S. correspondent for British-based magazines Knowledge (KMag) and Blues & Soul. He is now developing a web series, ENTelliGents.TV, which focuses on multidisciplinary humanitarian and philanthropic efforts.
His work for diversity and multiculturalism has been recognized by the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation and the National Association of Black Journalists.
This event is sponsored by Goucher’s Communication and Media Studies Department, Office of Multicultural Student Services, Office of Student Engagement, Africana Studies Program, the Isabelle Kellogg Thomas Lectureship on English, and the Lectures and Fellowships Committee.
