Dear all,
The Centre for the study of Global Media and Democracy at Goldsmiths, University of London, invites you to:
Media justice and food justice: A tale of two struggles
Professor Andrew Calabrese, University of Colorado
23 April 5-7pm in the Professor Stuart Hall Building, 302
The political-economic parallels and intersections of the media and food industries are vital and remarkable. Large-scale food producers depend on media and telecommunication industries to promote their goods and maintain their supply chains, and media industries depend on ‘big food’ as a vital source of advertising revenue. Through various forms of influence, both industries shape, limit and control public knowledge about health, safety and risk associated with what we eat. Emphasizing discourses on media localism and food localism, this colloquium will highlight the limits and promises of struggles over what we eat and how we communicate about food.
Andrew Calabrese is Professor of Media Studies at the University of Colorado-Boulder. From 2008 through 2014, he held several leadership positions related to the development of a new College of Media, Communication and Information, including four years as Associate Dean. His research emphasizes the relevance of critical social and political theory in explaining issues of media and citizenship, media policy, and uses of media for social justice activism. His publications focus on the role of media in concepts of civil society and the public sphere; media reform, communication rights and social justice; and violence and nonviolence in political communication. His recent research is about the relationship between media and food politics and activism, and related theoretical and practical issues about public knowledge, welfare, safety and risk.
