About Benjamin W. Cramer
In 2009 I received a PhD in the College of Communications at Penn State University. I can be reached at cramer520@yahoo.com. My research focuses on media law and telecommunications policy, with concentrations in government transparency, intellectual property, and the political economy of communications. Environmental law is a significant outside interest.
Starting in August 2009 I am a Visiting Professor of Telecommunications at Central European University, Department of Public Policy. During this one-semester assignment in Budapest, Hungary I am teaching telecommunications policy and global broadcastibng law.
Currently seeking an Assistant Professor position in mass communications or public policy, with a start date of January 2010.
I also have nearly a decade of experience as a technical writer and trainer in the information technology field, and am a published writer on outdoor adventures and environmental issues in Pennsylvania. In my spare time I am an active local environmental volunteer and freelance writer, and an avid hiker and reader.
