RMeS Conference – All About Media?

June 14, 2023/in RMeS News /by Chantal

9 & 10 November 2023 | Amsterdam – LAB111
RMeS was founded in 2011 and was instrumental in establishing and institutionalising the field in the Netherlands. To explore and actively shape new directions for Media Studies, RMeS invites submissions for the upcoming conference All About Media? The Future for Media Studies. The event will be held at LAB111 in Amsterdam from 9-10 November 2023.

On the occasion of its twelve and a half year anniversary, the Research School for Media Studies (RMeS) aims to unite the Dutch Media Studies community to discuss what it means to study media when they are ubiquitous. How will, and should, the discipline develop in the future? What questions will be relevant and what challenges should we address? What will we study at our next anniversary in 2035?

NICA/RMeS Lecture/workshop: ‘De-Colonizing Spice Melange’ with Joseph Crickmore

September 14, 2023/in RMeS News /by Chantal

5 October 2023 | University of Amsterdam
In the universe of Dune, “who controls the spice controls the universe.” Author Frank Herbert maintained a fascination with psychedelics as unique mind-altering substances throughout his life, and wove this interest throughout his fictional works. This finds no greater demonstration than psychedelia’s central role in his seminal work, the Dune series. Not only did these works come to define the modern sci-fi genre, but they are rich with Herbert’s speculative analysis as to the socio-political impact these substances would have on society.

RMeS Workshop: Designing research to generate social impact: Amplifying diverse voices in media research

July 12, 2023/in RMeS News /by Chantal

2 November 2023 | University of Groningen
Media research has evolved beyond merely focusing on the medium or the user. Different approaches and methods have been developed  to capture the dynamics of the changing media environments. However, understudied publics still exist, and their voices and perspectives are often forgotten, neglected, and/or left aside. Be they marginalized publics, disadvantaged communities, young children, elderly, refugees, all groups that are positioned on the margins of society at large. Although methods have been developed to study these subgroups, issues related to diversity, inclusion and intercultural dialogue are still not always present in media research and media education.
