Are you passionate about sharing original research with new generations of students and scholars you admire? Have you been sitting on an idea for organizing a workshop in your area of expertise, but you don’t have the funds to do so? RMeS has got your back!

31 March – 6 April 2025 | KNIR – Rome
In collaboration with the Royal Dutch Institute in Rome, RMeS will organize a course on Media in the (Eternal) City.
Media are ambiguous in cities, whether we think of billboards and screens in public spaces, people navigating through cities via maps on their smartphones, cinemas and newspaper buildings, surveillance cameras observing crowds, or tourists taking selfies. Cities as material surroundings and social structures are shaped by media and mediated experiences, while media also shape and structure the lives of people in cities, whether they are inhabitants or visitors. In this course we will therefore explore how media, mediated social life and the city – with Rome as a case – constitute one another.
