MEDIA & MOBILITY

September 7, 2007, 9:00 am-16.30 pm
University of Copenhagen, Southern Campus, Room 23.0.49

Mobile phones enable us to stay connected anytime, anywhere. The mobile phone, however, is only the latest in a series of modern media that provide access to information, and to communication with other people, across geographical and social distances. This research seminar takes stock of media and mobility, revisiting classic questions of ’local’ and ’global’ communication, and raising new issues for studies of mobile and ubiquitous media.

The seminar features keynotes by two prominent international scholars in this area – Joshua Meyrowitz, USA, and Rich Ling, Norway. In addition to presentations of ongoing research projects by Danish researchers, the program also includes a panel debate joining researchers and industry representatives from Telenor, TDC Mobile, and DR who will address themes at the crossroads of research and development.

Please distribute widely. The full program will be published in early August.

Organized by Film & Media Studies, Department of Media, Cognition and Communication, University of Copenhagen
