David Gauntlett (much quoted already this year by me and Mr Bush no doubt with regards to representation theory and also someone who has developed a wide body of work regarding new and digital media/ web 2.0) is holding a taster lecture at the University of Westminster, 309 Regent Street, London W1 on 23rd March 2010 between 11.00am - 12.00 noon. (Nearest tube Oxford Circus on the Victoria and Central Lines)
The lecture is 'New Media and the Power of the Everyday Creativity' and examines media content, such as television and radio programmes, and published reporting and writing and its historical dominance by the big institutions. The lecture will explore the changing relationship between audiences and institutions and how, due to cheap production tools and easy to use online platforms we as an audience are all now able to make and share our own media. David Gauntlett will discuss the hype, controversy and reality surrounding this shift, and will argue that tools which help people to unlock their everyday creativity are valuable for society.
There are only 50 places available and this lecture will be a valuable tool in developing background information for your case studies to use in the exam in addition to gaining an insight into university style education. To book your place please contact Michele Raimondo via email on raimonm@westminster.ac.uk or call 0207 911 5000.
Please note that these sessions always book up very, very quickly.
