Connect/ Reconnect/ Disconnect
Political and popular culture, new media and the future of civic engagement
4th Annual PhD Conference, Institute of Communications Studies, University of Leeds, UK, June 29th, 2010 – 9.00 am to 5.00 pm
We frequently divide civil culture and popular culture, but new media thrives on the creation of relationships. The civil and the popular are no exception. The conference looks to explore how new media spaces connect/reconnect/disconnect across all boundaries, especially civic and popular boundaries.
