Dear Scholar,
We would like to invite you to attend an AHRC-funded Postgraduate
Conference entitled "Redefining Conflict in Post-Cold War Media," to be
held at the University of Nottingham on 29th and 30th March. This
inter-disciplinary conference encourages fresh scrutiny of contemporary
debates concerning the relevance of 'globalisation', and the role of the
media to the so-called 'war on terror'.
We are excited to announce that John Tulloch, Professor of Sociology at
Brunel, will be our plenary speaker. We will also be hosting an
exhibition by renowned multimedia artist Dan Williamson, whose recent
mixed media work on the 'War on Terror' was one of the most popular
installations at the British Art Sideshow 2006. Over the two days there
will be a roundtable session on the changing nature of conflict and a
'Getting Published' panel discussion with representatives from
Manchester University Press and Edinburgh University Press.
For further information and a registration form, please see our website at
www.ahrcconflictconference.com.
We look forward to meeting you in March!
Best wishes,
AHRC Conflict Conference Committee
