Registration is open for 'The Mediation of Security: an international conference', 18 May 2011, De Montfort University (Leicester)

The provisional programme, along with a link to the registration site, is available at www.dmu.ac.uk/mos.

Organised by the Media Discourse Group at De Montfort University, this one-day conference will examine the various ways in which security is described in the media, with particular reference to the stories promoted by news organisations when they attempt to support or undermine the various propositions made to the public about security and the ‘terror threat’.

Our keynote speakers are Professor Lilie Chouliaraki (London School of Economics), Professor Mark Neocleous (Brunel University) and Dr Zahera Harb (University of Nottingham).

There is an Early Bird rate of £55 (full price) and £25 (students/unwaged) for those registering by 23 April 2011.
