Dear All,
There are still few places left for the MOBILISATIONS, CHANGING PROTEST CULTURES AND WEB 2.0 TECHNOLOGIES seminar, which will be held at the Centre for Global Media and Democracy, Goldsmiths University of London, UK – 14th and 15th of May, 2015 (Professor Stuart Hall Building, LG02)
This seminar will look at contemporary ‘protest cultures’ and explore the changing relationship between political participation and media technologies in the age of social media by considering three different dimensions a) organisation b) political imaginations c) lived experience. Scholars and activists will be invited to discuss this relationship by considering culturally and context specific examples from the occupy movements to the Philippines, from digital activism in Iran to the experience of PODEMOS in Spain.
Speakers: Elena Pavan University of Trento; Paolo Gerbaudo (Kings College London); Anastasia Kavada (WestiminsterUniversity); Ella McPherson (Cambridge University); Lina Dencik (Cardiff University); Stefania Milan (University of Amsterdam); Adrienne Russell (Denver University); Simona Levi (XNet-Podemos); Mirca Madianou (Goldsmiths University); Bart Cammaerts (LSE); Gholam Khiabany (Goldsmiths University); Dhiraj Murthy (Goldsmiths University)
