Multicultural Studies Division
The Multicultural Studies division was founded to provide a specific
forum for addressing concerns of the relationship between traditionally
underrepresented groups - especially racial and ethnic groups (i.e.,
African, Hispanic, Asian and Native American (ANANA) - and the
electronic media. The division also provides a forum for discussion of
issues and presentation of research on issues of portrayal, employment
and entrepreneurship and the academy's response to teaching these
issues. Their goals are to increase the level of awareness of the
contributions and concerns of AHANA members and other traditionally
underrepresented groups; to encourage more research on topics related to
AHANA members and other traditionally underrepresented groups; and to
encourage electronic media curricular acknowledgment of the
contributions and concerns of AHANA members and other traditionally
underrepresented groups.
