We are pleased to announce that after a year-long evaluative process
the LLC Program's Director, Dr. Kimberly Moffitt, is being promoted to the rank
of Professor, effective July 1, 2020.
Beyond the traditional quantitative and qualitative criteria
for promotion used at UMBC and by our Language, Literacy & Culture Doctoral
Program, all the evaluators echoed the external
reviewers' sentiments that her scholarship is "rigorous," "original," and "important," highlighting her community-engaged and participatory-action work as a public intellectual and educational advocate.
Dr. Moffitt's research is in the area of race
and gender representation in mass media and pop culture.
Please help us congratulate her on becoming a full professor!
