NANCY SNOW

I am a professor of communications at California State University, Fullerton and author of several books and numerous chapters on America's image, global media, and propaganda. I can see the Disneyland fireworks display from my home every night and am not sure if that is really a good thing. I also marvel at the newly refurbished Hollywood sign on my travels to USC's Annenberg School for Communication where I am adjunct professor and senior research fellow at the Center on Public Diplomacy.

I earned a Ph.D. in international relations from American University's School of International Service in Washington, D.C. and hold a B.A. in political science from Clemson University in South Carolina. For the longest time I wanted to be a lawyer, but I have since turned my prosecutorial ways toward concentrations of power in government and corporations. From 1992-1994 I served as a United States Information Agency and State Department official as part of the Presidential Management Fellows (PMF) Program. That experience led to my writing Propaganda, Inc.: Selling America's Culture to the World, a critical assessment of U.S. public diplomacy history and strategy. It is now available in several languages, including Farsi, Portuguese, and Japanese (who knew!)

I am most proud of my lifetime membership in the Fulbright Association and am a Fulbright alumna to the Federal Republic of Germany. I had the privilege to know Senator J. William Fulbright and wrote a doctoral dissertation about Fulbright scholars as cultural mediators. I hope to have this dissertation published by an academic press in the next year or so.
