THE ACTIVIST, THE ACADEMIC, AND DIGITAL MEDIA

The Centre for Global Media and Democracy (Goldsmiths, University of London) and the Centre on Social Movements Studies (Scuola Normale Superiore) are proud to present the 3rd SoME Seminar. The seminar reflects on the often under-investigated relationship between academic knowledge, activist practice and digital technologies. Scholars and activists will focus on three dimensions of this relationship a) the disconnection between academic theory and political activism b) the dual identities of activist academics c) participatory research projects.
Speakers: Brett Scott (London School of Financial Arts, UK); Sandra Jeppesen (Lakehead University, Canada); Sam Halvorsen (Sheffield University, UK); Todd Wolfonson (Rutgers University, U.S.); Jerome Roos (European University Institute, Italy); Charlotte Ryan (University of Massachusetts Lowell, U.S.); Hilary Wainwright (Transnational Institute/Red Pepper, UK); Finn McKay (University of West England, UK); Dan McQuillan (Goldsmiths University of London, UK); Kate Coyer (Central European University, Hungary); Doug Specht (University of Westminster, UK): Margaret Gillan (Independent Researcher/ Community Media Network Ireland)
