    Global Engagement

    Jyotika Ramaprasad is Professor and Vice Dean for Graduate Studies and Research in the School of Communication at the University of Miami since 2008. Her research has focused on profiles of journalists in Africa and Asia, and on communication for social change. Currently, she is participating in two large projects on journalists,i.e., the Worlds of Journalism and a project on countries in the BRICS coalition.  Ramaprasad has also worked on communication for social change projects in Asia and Africa, and more recently in Europe. Her work in these areas of journalist profiles and social change communication is published in the Gazette, The Harvard International Journal of Press/Politics,Asian Journal of Communication, Social Marketing Quarterly and Journal of Health and Mass Communication. Ramaprasad is on the editorial board of Journalism and Mass Communication Quarterly and Mass Communication and Society.

    Ramaprasad has won several grants from the Department of State for work in Asia and Africa. More recently, her grants are from within UM and from other funders. The international scope of her work has made Ramaprasad aware of the need for education in communication for social change and for faculty involvement is such projects. As Vice Dean, she re-envisioned the doctoral program to focus on research and action for positive change. As Interim Director of the Knight Center for International Media, now the Center for Communication, Culture and Change, she extended its mission from journalism forsocial change to communication for social change, thus making it a research center for doctoral students to engage in immersive research experience for social change.
