JENKINS TO PRESENT STEVE JONES INTERNET RESEARCH LECTURE IN 2005 NCA 
CONVENTION

The Carl Couch Center for Social and Internet Research (www.cccsir.org) 
sponsors the annual presentation of Steve Jones Internet Research 
Lecture Series at the annual convention of the National Communication 
Association (NCA).  In the 2005 NCA Convention, November 17-20 in 
Boston, the Jones Lecture Series presents a lecture by Henry Jenkins 
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology).  In his lecture, “Spoiling 
Survivor: Anatomy of a Knowledge Culture,” Jenkins asks the audience to 
imagine Survivor as informational warfare-- a giant cat and mouse game 
played between the producers and the audience, as he details how the 
audience will try to exhaust all the resources to figure out the game 
before the producers reveal what happened.  Henry Jenkins, Director of 
the Comparative Media Studies Program at MIT, is a leader of the 
Education Arcade.

The lecture is scheduled on Friday, November 18, 6:30-7:45 PM in Kent, 
Sheraton.
