The Department of Communication and Media offers many kinds of events, most free and open to the public. We organize and sponsor numerous lectures, workshops and conferences over the course of the academic year. Our programming covers a wide range of topics and features presenters from diverse disciplines and is designed to foster an understanding of the mass media and emerging media.
This symposium gathers together leading scholars working on a critical and salient theme in communication studies--namely, social media and citizenship. We are interested in work that deals with a broad range of related questions. How are social media changing the nature of participation, debate, and political protest? How do the affordances of social media platforms affect engagement and interaction? How are identities, and senses of belonging and citizenship, shaped by social media? How are social media changing the nature of political journalism? These as critical questions in the field.
