The Media at UU lecture series is organized by the Department of 
Informatics and Media, Media and Communication Studies. In addition to 
lectures by representatives of our own department, researchers from 
other disciplines, as well as well-known international scholars, present 
current research. The series is dedicated to highlighting research on 
media, or media-related issues, from across the broad intellectual 
spectrum at Uppsala University, and beyond. It focuses on contemporary 
hot issues relating to the role of the media in society, such as for 
example: media, conflict & war, online politics, online economy, 
Internet/social media/web 2.0, media & globalization, or media power.

Our autumn lecture series features a workshop about digital media, 
political change and the Arab world, a public PhD defence, a conference 
about China and the media and talks about social media and citizen media.
