Keynotes: Days 1 & 2

Dr Shakuntala Banaji (LSE)

Thursday 12 January, 09:00—09:50, Clothworkers Centenary Hall, School of Music

Techno-emancipation and the youthful poor

The consequences of narratives and their accompanying sets of representations and discourses cannot be underestimated.

As adults working in development organisations, NGOs and universities in the global north study ways to improve the life

conditions of the poorest children and youth in the global south, the idea that emerging digital technologies can combat a

host of inequalities has taken hold. The paper considers the practical and political

implications of the fact that narratives of media/technology–enabled development

and civic participation are ideologically entangled with capitalism, and with the much

critiqued modernization paradigm of development.

Biography: Shakuntala Banaji, PhD, is programme director for the MSc in Media,

Communication and Development in the department of Media and Communications

at the London School of Economics and Political Science. She has participated in sev-

eral large cross-European projects on young people, new technologies, schooling and

democratic participation, and is currently UK project director of a multi-country Hori-

zon 2020 project, CATCH-EyoU, on youth active citizenship in Europe (2015-2018) and

Principal Investigator for a collaborative grant with American University Sharjah on

participatory culture, the internet and creative production in the Middle East 2015-

2017). Shakuntala’s books include Reading Bollywood Palgrave 2006/2011, South

Asian Media Cultures, Anthem Press 2010; The Civic Web: Young people, the Internet

and civic participation with David Buckingham, MIT Press, 2013; Young People and Democratic Life with Bart Cammaerts et

al. , Palgrave 2015. Her new monograph about Children, Labour and Media in India is out with Routledge in 2017.

Professor Andrew Ross (New York University)

Wednesday 11 January, 13:00—14:00, Clothworkers Centenary Hall, School of Music

High Culture/Hard Labour: Looking Beyond the Creatives

Recent scholarship on ‘creative labour” has established a solid understanding of how “working for exposure” has become a

central economic principle of the media and knowledge sectors. But this focused

attention has led to a corresponding neglect of how the “groundstaff” are employed

to construct, maintain, and operationalize cultural institutions. How do we turn such

institutions into communities of conscience where the rights of all workers are up-

held?

Biography: Andrew Ross is a social activist and Professor of Social and Cultural Anal-

ysis at New York University. A contributor to the Guardian, the New York Times, the

Nation, and Al Jazeera, he is the author of many books, including Creditocracy and the

Case for Debt Refusal, Bird On Fire: Lessons from the World’s Least Sustainable City,

Nice Work if You Can Get It: Life and Labor in Precarious Times, Fast Boat to China–

Lessons from Shanghai, No-Collar: The Humane Workplace and its Hidden Costs, and

The Celebration Chronicles: Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Property Value in Disney’s

New Town. He is also the editor of the recently published The Gulf: High Culture/Hard

Labor (available from OR Books).

MeCCSA 2017

Professor Paul Gilroy (King’s College London)

Thursday 12 January, 17:35—18:25, Clothworkers Centenary Hall, School of Music

The old new racism and the new old nationalism:

melancholia and prospective nostalgia

Biography: Paul Gilroy is Professor of American and English Literature at Kings Col-

lege London. He joined Kings in September 2012 having previously been Giddens Pro-

fessor of Social Theory at the London School of Economics (2005-2012), Charlotte Mari-

an Saden Professor of African American Studies and Sociology at Yale (1999-2005) and

Professor of Cultural Studies and Sociology at Goldsmiths College (1995-1999). He is

the author of There Ain’t no Black in the Union Jack (1987), Small Acts (1993), The

Black Atlantic (1993), Between Camps (2000), and After Empire (2004; published as

Postcolonial Melancholia in the United States), among other works. The Black Atlantic

received an American Book Award in 1994 and has subsequently been translated into

Italian, French, Japanese, Portuguese and Spanish.

Professor Barbie Zelizer (University of Pennsylvania)

Friday 13 January, 14:30—15:30, Clothworkers Centenary Hall, School of Music

Resetting Journalism in the Aftermath of Brexit and Trump

The massive failure of the imagination that helped usher in Brexit and Trump makes a strong case for journalism's necessary

and immediate reset. This presentation tracks what needs to change in both journalism’s manifest and latent dimensions,

arguing that forcing a new understanding of what journalism is for may be a more familiar task than assumed.

Biography: Barbie Zelizer is the Raymond Williams Professor of Communication

and Director of the Scholars Program in Culture and Communication at the University

of Pennsylvania’s Annenberg School for Communication. A former journalist, Zelizer

is known for her work on journalism, culture, memory and images, particularly in

times of crisis. She has authored or edited fourteen books, including the award-

winning About To Die: How News Images Move the Public (Oxford, 2010) and Re-

membering to Forget: Holocaust Memory Through the Camera’s Eye (Chicago, 1998),

and over a hundred articles, book chapters and essays. Recipient of a Guggenheim

Fellowship, a Freedom Forum Center Research Fellowship, a Fellowship from Harvard

University’s Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics, and Public Policy, a Ful-

bright Senior Scholar and a Fellowship from Stanford University’s Center for Ad-

vanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences, Zelizer is also a media critic, whose work

has appeared in The Nation, PBS News Hour, CNN, The Huffington Post, Newsday and other media organs. Co-editor of Jour-

nalism: Theory, Practice and Criticism, she is a recent President of the International Communication Association, where she is

also a Fellow, and a Distinguished Scholar of the National Communication Association. Her work has been translated into

French, Korean, Turkish, Romanian, Chinese, Italian, Spanish, Hebrew and Portuguese. Her newest book What Journalism

Could Be was recently published by Polity in late 2016.

Roundtables and Events

Roundtable 1: Making Media in the North (Beth Johnson) Wednesday 11 January, 16:15—17:15, Lecture Theatre 1, School of Music

Following the relocation of BBC and ITV, Granada to MediaCityUK in Salford Quays in 2011 - and taking into consideration the acute focus on place, region and power in the wake of recent referendums and the UK vote for BREXIT - this roundtable aims to discuss the success (or not) of the 'Northern Powerhouse' as a cultural and creative hub for cutting-edge media production and representation.

Book Launch: ‘News in the Mediated City’ (Stephen Coleman) Wednesday 11 January, 16:15—17:15, School of Music foyer

Please join us for the launch of a new book, co-written by seven scholars from the School of Media and Communication at the University of Leeds. The Mediated City: News in a Post-Industrial Context considers how news circulates in a major post-industrial city (Leeds). Adopting a wide range of research methods - from content analysis of a range of news sources over the course of a single week to an audience survey, focus groups and interviews with news producers - the book raises im-portant questions about how media practices are changing and the kinds of local news provision that can best serve demo-cratic citizenship in a context of urban complexity. Copies of the book will be available and a panel including some of the co-authors, Danni Hewson (BBC) and Lee Hicken (The City Talking) will discuss its key themes.

Event: Cultures of Beer panel (Sam Goodman and Dan Jackson) £5 advance registration Wednesday 11 January, 15:45—17:15, Seminar Room 1.17, Clothworkers North

If you think your thirst for beer might not be quenched at the beer festival, you could sign up to a panel devoted to the cul-ture of beer. Led by Dr Sam Goodman (Bournemouth), ‘Raising a Glass to Freedom’? (in)equality in Beer, Britain and Empire’ will discuss the revival of beer in the UK but also view this current popularity as loaded with social meaning; serving as a win-dow into the British imperial past, as well as our contemporary present.

The panel includes some beer tasting and the £5 charge covers the beer (register at the online store in advance).

Roundtable 2.1: Media and the Public Interest (Steve Lax) Thursday 12 January, 12:00—13:00, Lecture Theatre 1, School of Music

The media’s role in serving the public interest has been under intense scrutiny in the past few years. The Leveson inquiry re-vealed the complex and often close relationships between newspapers and authorities while political reporting of issues such as the EU referendum and Jeremy Corbyn’s election as leader of the Labour Party has been called into question by some. At the same time, the Conservative government’s interventions in UK public service broadcasting – during BBC Charter renewal, its suggestion of privatising Channel 4 and the recent decision by the Culture Secretary to block a key appointment to that broadcaster’s board – raise questions about the political independence of the media and public service institutions.

Panellists: Ric Bailey, Visiting Professor, Leeds and Chief Political Adviser, BBC; Pat Holland, Bournemouth and Vice Chair, Campaign for Press & Broadcasting Freedom; Kam Sandhu, Editor, Real Media; Justin Schlosberg, Birkbeck and Chair, Media Reform Coalition chair.

The panellists will contribute to debates about whether the media is working in the public interest. Or, if not, can it be re-formed or are there alternative solutions?

MeCCSA 2017

Roundtable 2.2: How to get your PhD published in journals (White Rose DTC) (Julie Firmstone) Thursday 12 January, 12:00—13:00, Lecture Theatre 2, School of Music

Hosted by the Communication and Media Pathway of the ESRC White Rose Doctoral Training Partnership (WRDTP) this roundtable session brings together a wealth of editorial experience from five of the top media, communication and cultural studies journals to answer your questions about getting your PhD research published. Editors and co-editors will discuss ac-ceptance rates, key decisions times, what they expect from good submissions, and be ready to give tips and guidance for suc-cess. The panel will then open to questions from the floor. The following journals will be represented: the European Journal of Communication; Public Relations Inquiry; Information, Communication and Society; the Journal of Applied Media and Journal-ism Studies; Media, Culture and Society; and Popular Communication: International Journal of Media and Culture.

Roundtable 3: Ofcom and academic collaboration (Julie Firmstone) Friday 13 January, 11:00—12:00, Lecture Theatre 1, School of Music

In recent years Ofcom has developed a number of ways of engaging with media academics, and is keen to do more in this ar-ea. This session will provide an overview of why academic voices matter to Ofcom, and what its policy focus is over the coming year. We will hear from academics that have worked closely with the regulator and get their perspective on what works and what can be improved. The session will discuss tangible next steps in terms of liaison opportunities.

Showcase/Tour: Brotherton Library Special Collections (Laura Wilson and Simon Popple) Friday 13 January, 11:00—12:00, Sheppard Room, Brotherton Library, Parkinson Bldg.

Special collections curator Laura Wilson will showcase highlights of the University's Special Collections Media archives which will include the recently acquired South Bank Show Collection, Feminist Archive North, the Romany Collection, the Andy Lip-man Collection, the Arthur Ransome Archive and other media-related materials. Attendees will also be able to visit the University's new Treasures of the Brotherton Gallery and see highlights of the University Art Collection in the Burton Gal-lery. The tour to will be led by Simon Popple.

Lunchtime Session: What Media Studies Academics Should Know About Open Access (Ian MacDonald) Friday 13 January, 13:40—14:30, Lecture Theatre 1, School of Music

Media Studies has embraced open access publishing to a greater extent than many fields with the subject prominent in the lists of new university presses’ lists and academic-led imprints.

Three publishers from Goldsmiths Press, Huddersfield UP and University of Westminster Press, together with Stella Butler, the Leeds University Librarian and member of the Editorial Board of the White Rose University Press, lead an informal panel and Q&A on the benefits and some of the downsides to this messy evolution of scholarly communication. They ask:

what’s happening now and why?

what are the practicalities for the REF, ECRs and research?

who benefits from open access or from publishing as usual?

what potential downsides exist to OA?

what kind of experiments are possible, what collaborations?

why publish and where might technology lead us next?

Please join us over lunch in the School of Music for a fascinating discussion!

BU Innovation Booth Turn your research into resources for social change. Thursday 12 January, School of Music Foyer

Book an interactive, one-on-one session with our team of communication designers, storytellers and public engagement ex-perts at MeCCSA 2017. Sign up here: http://www.civicmedia.io/events-2/events/bu-innovation-booth-at-meccsa-2017/

At the BU Innovation Booth, we will use hands-on activities for turning your research into resources for public engagement through storytelling, visualisation and communication design. Sessions will consist of short exercises that explore questions such as:

* How can you use visualisations in your research?

* Is there an interactive map hiding in your last project?

* How can character loglines and plot devices help you to create visual narratives from your work?

* How can you engage with iconography and graphic design to reach wider audiences?

* What visualisation and analysis tools can help you reach new audiences?

There will also be sign-up spots on the day and mini-activities for those passing through. Drop by our booth in the Clothworkers Foyer and give them a go!

Facilitators: Anna Feigenbaum, Sam Goodman, Brad Gyori, Daniel Jackson, Einar Thorsen, Daniel Weissmann (Bournemouth University) w/ Minute Works communications design (Manchester, UK).

For the past three years, our Civic Media team at Bournemouth University has been training researchers, journalists and NGOs in data storytelling. For MeCCSA 2017, we are taking our team on the road to bring conference participants the BU Innovation Booth.
