Faith + Works Lecture Maps out Framework for Fighting Injustice

Noelle Barrus — Wed, 17 Mar 2021 14:51:34 +0000

On March 4, professor Ed Carter presented a lecture on justice as part of the Faith + Works series After years of working professionally as a journalist, attorney and professor, Ed Carter has had numerous hands-on experiences with injustice. He has seen or learned about people from all over the world taken from their families, wrongfully accused of crimes and killed for their journalistic work. These experiences influenced Carter’s framework of ideas for approaching injustice, which he shared during his Faith and Works lecture on March 4. This framework of transitional justice includes judging righteously, telling the truth, being accountable and making reparation. Carter used his own experience and examples from scriptures to illustrate his points. Judging Righteously The first piece to the transitional justice framework is judging righteously. “Righteous judgment sometimes means allowing and bringing about consequences,” said Carter. “Other times, we have to apply grace and mercy and leave it in God’s hands.” Carter shared stories from around the world of people experiencing both justice and injustice. He told of a woman who helped her neighbor after a fire in Chile and a man who was wrongfully accused of a crime. He also shared an example from the people in the Book of Mormon. “Zion was and is created through us being agents for justice for everybody around us,” said Carter. “There were no divisions in society because of political beliefs or statuses. Here at BYU, we can work toward achieving something similar.” Truth-Telling In conjunction with judging righteously, the second piece to Carter’s justice framework is truth-telling. “We need to find truths through debate, discussion, exposure to viewpoints, media and other sources.” Carter explained the theme of his lecture “error without malice.” This phrase comes from a document created by the United Nations Human Rights Committee. This document argues that we have to allow for some degree of unintentional error from people for freedom of expression. “We shouldn’t hold speakers liable for unintentional error, even if it causes damage,” Carter said. “Actual malice is defined as knowledge of falsity or reckless disregard of the truth.” Carter invited listeners to rely on good journalism and have tolerance for non-malicious error. “Similar to how the Savior allows us some error, we should offer the same,” said Carter. “We can seek truth about our own lives through the Holy Ghost, inspiration, revelation, prophets of God and the scriptures,” he said. Accountability and Reparation With judging righteously and truth-telling comes the third piece of Carter’s justice framework — accountability and reparation. “We can also recognize accountability and reparation in our spiritual lives as repentance,” said Carter. “But in the international human rights context, there needs to be a prosecution process.” Carter shared the story of a case he worked on for a client who was wrongfully deported. While working on this case, he felt a lot of pressure to carry out justice for this man. At one point in the process, he stood in front of ten judges. One of the judges asked Carter a question that left him stumbling for an answer. “Three years of work and all of these people were waiting for me to help this man. I wondered how I had gotten there — I was just a journalist and a professor,” said Carter. “What do you do in those key moments when justice hangs in the balance? You do the best that you can,” said Carter. “I relied on my preparation and I provided the best answer I could. This is where mercy and justice came in, because I went home that day feeling like a failure. But a few months later, justice was served despite my inadequacies, and the man I had been fighting for was brought back into the country.” Reform and Non-Recurrence The fourth and final piece to this framework of transitional justice is non-recurrence. Carter explained that in the gospel context, we can become new, reinvented versions of ourselves. In this final part of the lecture, he shared the story from a project he worked on for a series of 10 modules about journalism literacy. The one module he discussed is titled Why People Should Not Kill Journalists. For this module, Carter has done research on over 1,000 unresolved journalist killings. “Most journalists were threatened and refused to stop doing their work and then were killed,” said Carter. “They reported on crime and corruption and somebody was not happy about that.” Carter’s project is aimed at ending the violence acted out on journalists who are fighting for truth and risking their lives. Carter also invited students to watch a variety of news sources in the search for truth. “We are told to seek understanding by study and faith. It is not easy. You will not get real news sources on social media, you need to go out and seek them.” Several students were invited to watch the lecture in-person, including communications student Hannah Koford. “One of my biggest takeaways was Dr. Carter’s counsel to avoid becoming a part of the culture of dehumanization. Don’t dehumanize journalists. Don’t dehumanize people who disagree with you. Don’t dehumanize people who make mistakes. We can only expect to deal justly and mercifully if we view people as who they are: people,” Koford said. Carter finished his lecture by answering questions from the in-person audience. One student asked how college students now can start practicing and applying the principles discussed in his lecture. Carter responded, “Be open to opportunities that come your way. Don’t wait until later, act now. Try to live your life and do fun activities, but also take on challenges. There is never going to be a better time.”

Faith + Works: Doing and Dealing Justly in an Unjust, Imperfect World

Noelle Barrus — Thu, 04 Feb 2021 17:09:36 +0000

The Faith and Works Lecture with Ed Carter will take place on March 4 in the Madsen Recital Hall and will be streamed online Aside from being a professor, Ed Carter has served in many roles. He was a mentor on student projects traveling to Latin America and Europe. He has served as a lawyer representing journalists in federal courts. He is a graduate from BYU, Northwestern University, the University of Edinburgh and Oxford University. Throughout his varying roles and disciplines, Carter has wrestled with questions surrounding justice. “While I wait for the perfect justice and mercy of Jesus Christ to be fully applied, how should I react to injustices in the imperfect world around me?” Carter asked. Carter’s lecture “Error without Malice: Seeking Justice Through Journalism and International Human Rights Law” will address this timely question. For his lecture, Carter will present four solutions to reacting to the injustices of our world. First, he will discuss judging righteously. Second, he will explain the value in truth-telling. Third, he will present on accountability, and fourth, he will address institutional reforms. During his lecture, Carter will expound on these four principles using personal experiences and scriptures. “A big part of our effort to merit the grace and mercy of Jesus Christ for justification and sanctification is to listen to the Holy Ghost guiding us to do justly, love mercy, judge righteously and be humble in doing so,” said Carter. Watch the lecture live on March 4 through http://faithandworks.byu.edu.

Journalism Students Create Documentary Focused on Working During a Pandemic

Noelle Barrus — Mon, 13 Jul 2020 20:27:40 +0000

Four journalism students created a documentary explaining their adjustment to working remotely during a pandemic With help from their professors, four broadcast journalism students — Emma Benson, Joseph Carson, Halston Robinson and Karani Namuno — created a documentary during the end of winter semester covering their adjustment to working remotely as journalists in a quarantined world. The thirteen-minute documentary “Covering News in a Pandemic” explains the impact that the worldwide shutdown had on journalism students at BYU. “Once all the virus stuff started, we hit a brick wall. No one knew what to do and this was newfound territory for everyone involved,” said senior Halston Robinson. “After it was over and the dust settled, everyone wanted to move on. But we wanted to focus on what happened, we wanted to show how students and teachers had to adapt and all the cool stuff that came out of it. We felt like it was not talked about enough and light needed to be shed on this topic.” The students created their documentary to highlight the efforts of countless BYU journalism students creating new content while the world dealt with the coronavirus pandemic. From writing the narration for the documentary to finding archived news clips, these four students demonstrated how an interactive profession can still produce interesting content while working remotely. “I was impressed with the resilience of my classmates and professors,” said senior Joseph Carson. “It was amazing how everyone came together to adapt to difficult circumstances — from having access to labs and computers and cameras— to just having your phone and social media — and still produce news content. Everyone was optimistic and worked hard to do what they could with what they had.” While the students were forced out of valuable experiences working in a newsroom and being on the air, they did discover benefits to the abrupt changes. Because they were away from the tools and equipment they typically had access to in the newsroom, the students were forced to innovate in a difficult situation and developed skills they can apply in their future careers. “The students learned tons of new skills during that time,” said journalism professor Melissa Gibbs. “They had to learn to film on their phones, edit on their phones, and learn how to interview using zoom. We actually had students from the Universe and Newsline that still went out during the pandemic, and they learned how to properly social distance but still tell stories. They learned many things that they could have never learned inside the newsroom.” While the students learned how to adapt to using tools such as phones to produce stories, they also learned skills that will apply to any stage of journalist work. “Something I’ve really struggled with in this major is thinking on my feet. Especially in news reporting, you have to do things incredibly spontaneously. This pandemic really helped me to learn to just think on my feet,” said Robinson. Prior to the unexpected transition to remote work, faculty in the journalism department worked on a new way to assist students in their professional experiences on campus. Dr. Edward Carter is in the process of creating a journalism innovations lab that will further the experiences of students in journalism. This lab is still currently in development, and the goal is for faculty and staff to help students be prepared for situations such as the pandemic. The lab will be unique from other labs in the department and will focus on uncovering and teaching the latest innovations in journalism throughout the world. “We’re trying to create this journalism innovations lab. It is basically a way to see what the professionals are doing, what other schools are doing and what we are doing to push the boundaries of journalism,” said professor Gibbs. “When COVID19 happened and school shut down, it provided a perfect opportunity for us because we were forced to change things, we couldn’t do things the way we’d been doing them. We had to figure out a way to teach students how to storytell under extremely difficult circumstances where we couldn’t be together anymore and they couldn’t be face-to-face when they interviewed people.” Although they faced limitations unlike any they had before, these students worked through the pandemic in innovative ways. Together — but isolated — the faculty and students continued to create and learn. “There’s nothing holding anyone back from doing any reporting. You’re only limited by your creativity and skill as a storyteller,” said Carson. To watch the completed documentary, visit Covering News in a Pandemic.

Students from the College of Fine Arts and Communications travel internationally on study abroads, competitions and internships to gain real-world experience and share their talents Each year, students in the BYU College of Fine Arts and Communications take the knowledge and skills they have learned in the classroom and make their mark on their local and global communities. From China to Brazil, these students are having inspiring learning opportunities all over the globe while having real-world experiences. Read more about how students from the College of Fine Arts and Communications answered President Kevin J. Worthen’s call for inspired learning during May: China Spectacular (Courtesy of BYU Photo, Susan Kupferer, Tyler Persson, @byu_folkdance, Jonathan Tanner, McKenna Wright and Drew Duncan) Dozens of students from across the college traveled to China this summer for the China Spectacular. They performed in multiple cities and experienced some of the most iconic places in China, including the Great Wall and the Ming Tombs. “As I reflect on my time in China, it’s clear that all of my knowledge and ability means very little without people to share it with,” said Tyler Persson, a member of the International Folk Dance Ensemble. “This tour was about people, not about performances. The interactions that we had with people in lobbies, on the streets, or in any other daily comings and goings were poignant reminders of this.” The groups that toured in the China Spectacular included Ballroom Dance Company, Chamber Orchestra, Cougarettes, the Dunk Team, International Folk Dance Ensemble, Living Legends, Vocal Point and Young Ambassadors. “Because there were eight different performing groups on the tour, we were able to meet others and become friends,” said Susan Kupferer, the assistant stage manager on tour. “Art is a medium that transcends language.” In addition to connecting with others through art while on tour, a few BYU students were able to use their knowledge of the Chinese language to further build relationships. “I speak Mandarin Chinese, and I feel so blessed for that. Every opportunity I had to talk to a child, talk to a member of the audience or to translate allowed me to increase my love for the Chinese people,” said McKenna Wright, a member of Young Ambassadors. “The feeling that I was being used as a tool in God’s hands was apparent to me throughout the whole tour.” Communications Mentored-Learning Experience in Spain (Courtesy of Natasha Ramirez and Dale Cressman) Five communications students and three professors traveled to Spain to capture the experience of Spanish language majors walking the Camino de Santiago, a network of pilgrimages leading to the shrine of the apostle Saint James the Great in northwestern Spain. The footage will be turned into a documentary about the Camino de Santiago, why people walk it and what it means to be a pilgrim. “Our communications students conducted themselves so professionally. They are passionate about the project and hardworking,” said professor Dale Cressman. “We were very fortunate to have this experience. I believe it begins to fulfill the vision of our school’s director, Ed Carter — to get our students out into the world in mentored learning situations where they can do challenging but exceptional things.” BYU communications students shadowed and interviewed BYU Spanish students on the Camino de Santiago study abroad while they were making the pilgrimage as well as others they met along the way. Additionally, they learned about Gregorian chants from Spanish monks and sang hymns from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saint hymnbook for people in the cathedral at Silos. “Everywhere I went on the Camino, people told me they had met one or more of our students,” said Cressman. “In every single instance, those people told me how impressed they were with them.” Theatre Ballet (Courtesy of Ryan Hatch and @byutheatreballet) BYU Theatre Ballet students spent a week in Spokane, Washington at a ballet conference participating in masterclasses, working with professionals and networking. Some dancers even received scholarships to attend other workshops and conferences. “Going to Regional Dance America allowed me to network with some of the best ballet teachers in the country,” said Ryan Hatch, one of the touring students. After the conference, the group went on to perform throughout the Pacific Northwest. “The Theatre Ballet tour gave me the opportunity to perform and share my talents with others. It was amazing to meet the members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints from around the world and introduce them to the BYU Dance program,” said Hatch. London Theatre Study Abroad (Courtesy of Caylee Gardner, TMA newsletter and Megan Sanborn Jones) Students and professors traveled to London on a theatre study abroad during spring term for the London Theatre study abroad. Students had the opportunity to see numerous shows — including “Fiddler on the Roof,” “Romeo and Juliet” and “Dead Dog in a Suitcase (and other love songs)” — which will help inspire them in their own creative pursuits in acting and playwriting. Outside the theatre, students have experienced other tourist attractions in England such as hiking the Cliffs of Dover, visiting parks and touring museums. Ballroom Dance Company (Courtesy of Landon Anderson and @byuballroom) The BYU Ballroom Dance Company toured several European countries, including England, France, Belgium, Switzerland and Spain. BYU won the British Latin Formation Championships while competing in Blackpool, England. “What a blessing it was to win the British Formation Championship at the Blackpool Dance Festival! I am so thankful to my teammates, coaches, choreographers and to our Father in Heaven for this talent we have of dance,” said Landon Anderson. Additionally, students were able to visit church history sites, eat fish and chips, go on a tour of the Ribble River Valley and experience life throughout Europe! Internship with the Late Show with Stephen Colbert (Courtesy of Zoe Taylor) BYU TMA student Zoe Taylor interned for the Late Show with Stephen Colbert this spring. Taylor has been able to learn from industry professionals while enhancing her personal skills in the field. “My favorite part of the internship was the sheer number of people I met and interacted with — celebrities, the costume and wardrobe department, the band members and so many more,” said Taylor. “The office was full of amazing people.” While she entered the internship with strong problem-solving and [...]

New Education in Zion Exhibits Offer New Resources for Professors

Sydnee Gonzalez — Sat, 19 Jan 2019 00:49:58 +0000

BYU’s Education in Zion Gallery, located in the Joseph F. Smith Building, will open two new exhibits at the end of January: a permanent exhibit titled “Education for Eternity” and a temporary exhibit called “Constructing a Soul.” The exhibits, which follow the gallery’s trend of highlighting BYU’s Four Aims, will be additional tools that faculty members can use to enhance their teaching. Heather Seferovich, the gallery’s curator, believes that professors will be able to integrate the exhibits into their classroom experience regardless of their respective disciplines. “The gallery is based on the Four Aims of a BYU education, which are applicable to every class on this campus, regardless of the discipline,” said Seferovich. “There are going to be different things that will work for different disciplines, it’s just a matter of the professors being creative or talking with me about their learning outcomes so they can craft an assignment that fulfills those outcomes.” Seferovich said that while it’s easiest for professors to connect their classes to the gallery when there are direct links between the exhibits and the course content — such as a photography professor who can use the gallery’s lenticular photo as an example — that’s certainly not the only way faculty can utilize the gallery. Seferovich said that many professors use the gallery as either a motivational tool at the beginning of the semester or toward the end of the semester as a way to get students to reflect on how BYU’s Four Aims have been incorporated into the class before they fill out teacher evaluations. Another common way for professors to incorporate the gallery into their classes is to have students take a guided tour or to answer questions for an out-of-class assignment. According to Seferovich, encouraging students to visit the gallery helps them learn in a way that simply sitting in a classroom cannot. “Sitting at a desk is fine, but many students are more kinetic learners, especially in creative fields, so walking around and talking and interacting with displays can sometimes help students with the learning process,” said Seferovich. “Students reach these wonderful epiphanies in the gallery. It’s like something clicks in their brains and they get it. These are life-long lessons that they learn, and they learned because they were walking around in the gallery.” Professors in the College of Fine Arts and Communications have already seen this happen with their own students. Ed Carter, a professor in the School of Communications, has been taking students to view Education in Zion exhibits for years. For him, the gallery represents a way to help students understand their place in the university by learning about those that came before them and preparing to pass on a legacy to those that come after them. “One of my BYU communications professors, Dallas Burnett, once told us that we don’t ‘own’ our jobs at BYU, but are merely stewards of them,” said Carter. “I think that applies to students, too. I like students to think about how they can be good stewards over the positions they hold on campus and pass them on in even better shape. It helps to see what others before us did to improve the campus academically as well as ethically, morally and spiritually.” Carter also said that the gallery can help faculty members meet President Worthen’s Inspired Learning initiative by making them “consider how to make that kind of learning a daily reality in our classes, labs and other activities at BYU.” Keely Song Glenn, a dance professor, has also used the gallery to incorporate inspired learning into the classroom by taking students to view the gallery’s “Jesus Wept” exhibit where students were able to make connections between the material presented in the exhibit, their own emotions and the emotions they express through dance. “My role as a mentor and teacher is to help facilitate an environment in which the students feel safe to explore ideas and emotions within movement to make a dance,” said Glenn. “Navigating through the exhibit and the scriptures allows the students to contemplate how their emotions might better serve them towards creativity and compassion rather than despair and futility.” For professors who haven’t used Education in Zion exhibits in their classes before, the gallery’s opening event will be a great opportunity to learn more about what the gallery offers. The gallery will be hosting an opening event from 3 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday Jan. 30. Col. Gail “Hal” Halvorsen, more commonly known as the “Candy Bomber,” will greet people and pass out candy during the event. At 4, 5 and 6 p.m. the gallery will also host a performance program featuring Janice Kapp Perry, BYU folk dancers, an alumni speaker and refreshments.

admin — Sat, 06 Jun 2015 21:33:32 +0000

Amy Petersen Jensen and Jeremy Grimshaw will replace Rodger Sorensen and Ed Carter as associate deans in the College of Fine Arts and Communications this summer. A third candidate, to replace Randy Boothe, will be selected later. Ed Adams, incoming CFAC dean, made the announcements this week to the faculty and staff of the CFAC. Jensen’s responsibilities, effective July 15, will revolve around faculty hiring, promotion, funding, professional development, arts education and research. “I look forward to serving the College of Fine Arts and Communications with Dean Ed Adams,” said Jensen. “He is a great leader whose practical vision for the CFAC will benefit us all. I am also very excited to serve the faculty of our college as they work to meet their scholarly and creative goals.” Grimshaw’s responsibilities, starting July 1, will include undergraduate/graduate student matters including curriculum, assessment, advisement, the college student association, as well as international programs and student funding. “I am very flattered and honored to serve in this capacity,” commented Grimshaw to a crowd of School of Music colleagues. “I’m grateful to have an opportunity to do it, to be able to work with Ed and Amy, and to be able to continue working with you.” Noting the service of Sorensen, Carter and Boothe–who will return to their departments/school–Adams praised them by saying that each has made significant contributions to the college during their tenures. “Their dedication and commitment have been exemplary and I express gratitude for the service they have given to the college and university in their assignments,” said Adams.

INTERDISCIPLINARY CFAC PROJECT CONTINUES TO WIN AWARDS

Beau Jones — Fri, 22 May 2015 19:28:50 +0000

Breaking the Class Ceiling, a College of Fine Arts and Communications interdisciplinary project, has continued on its award-winning run by receiving a gold recognition in the 45th Creativity Student Media & Interactive Design Awards. Across the world, economic and social disadvantages continue to hinder the advancement of hard-working men and women, a concept known as a “glass ceiling,” or the “class ceiling.” A group of BYU students would argue that for Chile, one of the biggest obstacles is free, quality public education. Motivated by personal connections to the people and a sense for the gravity of the situation, an interdisciplinary team of students and faculty from BYU’s College of Fine Arts and Communications, in conjunction with the Laycock Center for Creative Collaboration in the Arts, traveled to the country for two weeks and gathered information about the reform of higher education from students at Universidad Mayor, a Chilean private university. “Being from Chile, this was a great opportunity for me to cover something that I have personally been involved in,” said Ricardo Quintana, one of the students who participated in the project. “This is an important issue and society should be involved in its improvement.” Since compiling and presenting the gathered information, the project has won numerous awards and highlights the learning opportunities available to students at BYU’s College of Fine Arts and Communications. Quintana added, “Our work is significant because it shows how coveted education is outside the U.S., where it typically is not nearly as accessible. Kids and young adults are raising their voices against the government through different forms of protest because they feel they have a right to free education.” This project explicitly asks: should a college education be an implicit right for everyone? No doubt due in part for the hard questions that it asks, Breaking the Class Ceiling has recently been announced as a national finalist of The Society of Professional Journalists 2014 Mark of Excellence Awards and a gold winner in the 45th Creativity Student Media & Interactive Design Awards. “It is great to see that our work is being recognized,” said Shelbi Anderson, another student participant. “I was gratified to hear these stories firsthand, but getting recognized a year after we actually went to Chile makes it feel like we have had an impact after the fact.” These awards were given based on excellence in challenging criteria. For the Creativity International Award alone, entries came from 16 countries, 2 Canadian Provinces and 20 U.S. States. Student participants included: Shelbi Anderson (Journalist) Ricardo Quintana (Cinemaphotographer) Jared Jakins (Cinemaphotographer) Jeff Wade (Graphic Designer/Web Support/AV Support) Faculty advisors included: Brent Barson Jeff Sheets Ed Carter

Ed Carter Appointed as New School of Communications Director

Jacob Erickson — Thu, 30 Apr 2015 19:13:20 +0000

The School of Communications welcomes Dr. Ed Carter as its new director. Carter replaces Dr. Ed Adams, who served as director for the last three years. Carter’s three-year term begins on June 1, 2015. Before accepting this position, Carter worked as an associate professor and an associate dean for the College of Fine Arts and Communications. He received his bachelor’s degree in journalism from BYU and earned a master’s degree from the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University. Carter attended the J. Reuben Clark Law School at BYU, and served as a law clerk for Judge Ruggero J. Aldisert. Later, he became a full-time faculty member of BYU’s Communication Department. During Adams’ time as director, the Department of Communication became the School of Communications. In 2005, the Adlab was created and in 2008, the Bradley Lab went from a student run agency to a fully integrated public relations firm. Carter comes highly recommended by both his colleagues and the faculty. “Many names were submitted and considered for this position,” said Dean Stephen Jones. “The name that was most often mentioned was Dr. Ed Carter’s and over time it became clear that he was the right choice for this position. We appreciate Dr. Carter’s willingness to accept the position as Director of the School of Communications and wish him and his colleagues every success moving forward.” For Carter, this is a thrilling opportunity to serve both the students and the faculty of the School of Communications and he feels that there are many amazing possibilities on the horizon. “I look forward to the future and I know that there are challenges ahead but I choose to focus on the opportunities and the great things we can and will do together,” said Carter.
