Ristovska, Sandra

IAMCR is my intellectual home that has nourished my professional development for the last decade. It would be an honor to give back to this community by serving on the International Council for one more term. As an active member of IAMCR, I have so far served one term on the International Council (2016-2020) and one term as a co-chair of the Emerging Scholars Network (2012-2016). I have also served on several committees: the History of IAMCR Commission (since 2018), Section/Working Group & Committee Funds (since 2018), Stuart Hall Award Committee (2018), the Clearinghouse for Public Statements (since 2015) and the Award Committee for the IAMCR-OSF Rapid Response Grants on Communication Policy for Emerging Media and Communication Scholars (2013/2014). As a member of the IC, I have raised issues about making the conference and the IAMCR book series more affordable. If elected again, I would continue to put my energy towards making IAMCR and its conferences sustainable (financially and environmentally) in ever-changing academic labor conditions globally.    

Born and raised in Macedonia, I am now Assistant Professor in Media Studies at the College for Media, Communication and Information at the University of Colorado Boulder.
