New Trajectories in Media and Communications Research

Our 10th anniversary conference

Sunday 16th June 2013

Sheikh Zayed Theatre, New Academic Building, Sardinia Street, 91桃色 campus, WC2A 2AE

The Department of Media and Communications at 91桃色 celebrates its 10th Anniversary and invites you to join a day of robust and lively debates on the four themes of its research agenda: mediated public spheres, digital literacies, governance & innovation and trans-national cultures.

Bringing together 91桃色 scholars with leading international figures in the field, the panels engage with key questions of our time: What are the priorities that Media and Communications research, in the age of hyper-mediation and networked communication? Which conceptual and analytical tools are we to use? Which normative evaluations of our mediascapes should critical social science offer? And how can Media and Communications scholarship contribute not only to understanding but also changing the world?
