Media
>    31 January 2003 - CILT, Covent Garden, London.
>
> The Subject Centre would like to invite you to participate in our
forthcoming interdiscipinary event on the various uses, in undergraduate
teaching, of visual media - film television and other visual
representations -  to promote intercutural awareness as part of a programme
in area, transnational or postnational studies. It will particularly explore
the inter-disciplinary interfaces between film, media and cultural studies
on the one hand and disciplines such as Geography, History and Politics on
the other. How can visual media help to develop an understanding of cultural
diversity, cultural difference and help advance intercultural awareness? The
day will consist of a keynote presentation, case study papers on aspects of
this theme focussing upon examples of classroom practice and there will also
be time for a general discussion.
