Todd Wolfson is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Journalism and Media Studies at Rutgers University. His research focuses on the convergence of media and communication technologies, globalizing capitalism and social movements. Todd received his Ph.D. in social/cultural anthropology from the University of Pennsylvania. Todd is also a co-founder and co-director of the Media Mobilizing Project (www.mediamobilizingproject.org and www.mediamobilizing.org), which uses media and communications as a core strategy for building a movement to end poverty led by the poor in Philadelphia and across the region. In 2007, Todd won the Knight Foundation 21^st Century News Challenge to build an immigrant video newscast network that was tied to the municipal wireless Internet network, and he also received a research grant from the Social Science Research Council to study the intersection of poverty, the digital divide and communication-based organizing in Philadelphia. Prior to his graduate studies, Todd spent three years working in sub-Saharan Africa.
