Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Francyne Huckabyb0a028670024a30dbf6459126ac0b17fe5ed9174Elizabeth Ellsworth is a Professor of Media Studies at the New School in New York, New York. Ellsworth earned her PhD in Communication Arts from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. In 2009, Ellsworth was the associate provost for Curriculum and Learning also at the New School, and wanted to create an emphasis on cross-divisional and university-wide programs on this campus. Ellsworth wanted to encourage students to “broaden and strengthen the academic experience” through new ways of learning (“Elizabeth Ellsworth”, N.D.).
Some of Ellsworth’s focuses of research include theories of change and social change and public pedagogies through media in different forms. Ellsworth is the co-founder of the nonprofit media arts collaboration “Smudge Studio”. In addition, Ellsworth has designed multiple websites for web-based online learning environments including ExtremeMediaStudies.org. Recently, she has written journal articles for a variety of journals that focus on combining learning with aesthetics and public pedagogy, one of her main focuses of research. Ellsworth wants to encourage learners to “construct, share, and assess diverse ways of knowing” that emerge from contemporary life (“Elizabeth Ellsworth”, N.D.).
