Media studies has opened up new avenues of research across fields, helping
to reframe the objects, sites, and histories of scholarly inquiry,
providing a way to challenge accepted historical layers of social and
technical arrangements. This symposium draws together critical
intersections with media, applying postcolonial and feminist theories to
contextualize and frame the mediated landscape, both past and present.
Drawing from a variety of entangled theories and methodologies, authors
engage with a variety of approaches, providing new insights for scholars
from an array of backgrounds. This symposium also engages media itself
through a media archaeological approach, reframing and interrogating our
media so as to shed new understanding to our hyper-mediated world.

Please join us for an engaging symposium.
