[Reader-list] Conference - SOAS

[MATTI POHJONEN]

Friends,

Just a quick reminder about our upcoming conference "The Indian Mass Media and the Politics of Change" we are organising together with the Centre for Film and Media Studies at SOAS (School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London) on the 13th of October, 2007.

We are glad to now announce that we have now confirmed our speakers. The opening address will be given by Dr Paul Webley, the director of SOAS.  The keynote will given by Dr John Hutnyk, the Director for the Centre for Cultural Studies at Goldsmiths University, and the endnote
will be given by Professor Laura Mulvey from Birkbeck University.  In addition, we have also received a number of outstanding abstracts looking at the complex relationship between mass media and change in the Indian context from a variety of disciplines and countries.

We are still accepting abstracts until the 15th of July when we will announce the shortlisted candidates.  Then on the 15th of August we will provide specific details about the conference for those who will be attending.

We except this to be a timely and thought-provoking event and hope to see you all there.

Best,

SMC collective
