Background

This major international residential conference will look at developments on television and radio in Britain, Europe, North America and across the world, and explore connections between broadcasting past, present and future.  Whilst the very concept of 'broadcasting' faces important challenges worldwide as the pace of technological change increases, it remains a key agent in the construction of the contemporary social formation, as well as a prime site for pleasure and entertainment.  At the same time broadcasting, as an established and powerful institution, is increasingly aware that it has a past.  Yet, television and radio 'histories' are increasingly seen as problematic, not least because of the issues surrounding the evidence we have available on which to construct such 'histories'.

All conference documentation, lunch and refreshment breaks throughout the conference.  Also included is bed & breakfast accommodation on the evenings of Thursday 20th and Friday 21st June.
