Brief Bio

Teaching areas include television production, digital photography, new media technologies, documentary history & production, and telecommunication. In the fall of 2012 I'll be teaching JTC 335, Digital Photography, and JTC 413, New Communication Technologies and Society, and will be using the Digital Universe book in that course. My research focus is on the social effects of new communication technologies, primarily concerning digital television and the Internet.
 

I earned my Ph.D. in Mass Communication from Indiana University in 1995. A detailed C.V. is here. 


My better half is Nanci E. Seel and we have a son, Peter James (P.J.) Seel.
