Jackson Humanities Institute (Digital) Media Study Group

With a grant boost from JHI, ideas that had been crossing paths for years brought together our vastly interdisciplinary digiMedia Study Group at the inception of the 2008-2009 academic year.

Following our second meeting on December 5, 2008, collaborative projects are being considered in the following research areas:

• literacy/post-literacy
• media behaviours
• privacy and surveillance
• religion and the public sphere
• anything else people may get/already are passionate about

With participants from a wide range of research backgrounds - cinema, graphic arts, literature, media and communications, philosophy... - and all levels of the academic hierarchy, we anticipate that collaboration will be mutually enriching and productive.
