MIT and the (Comparative) Media Studies program have been the subject of Garry Trudeau’s Doonesbury for the past week. Director Henry Jenkins has noticed this and recently posted commentary on his blog, Confessions of an Aca/Fan
I can say that we in the Comparative Media Studies program are delighted that Ms. Doonesbury is so enthusiastic about wanting to get into our classes. We hope she makes it one of these days. We’d love to see her become a major. A growing number of frosh are arriving at MIT wanting to major in our program. We are now the largest Humanities major at MIT.
