> Goldsmiths, University of London
>
> This one-day symposium facilitates a discussion 
> on diversity and cosmopolitanism in Europe 
> within the context of media and European media 
> policy. The role of media and media policies in 
> the construction of individual and collective 
> identities has been widely explored and often 
> studied within the context of nation states. The 
> speakers at the symposium will address the 
> relationship between media (and media policy) 
> and diverse European populations within 
> frameworks that are invariably overlooked in 
> mainstream academic and policy research.
>
> The two main themes of the symposium are 
> cultural diversity and complexity in relation to 
> media (and media policy); and cosmopolitanism. 
> Speakers discuss a variety of phenomena 
> occurring on the ground in Europe, such as 
> transnational migration and pan-European media 
> spheres (e.g. Roma/Gypsy and Catholic ones), and 
> question nation-centric approaches to media and 
> socio-cultural phenomena in Europe.
>
> The keynote lecture is delivered by Zygmunt Bauman and other speakers include
> Asu Aksoy (Goldsmiths), Connie Christiansen 
> (Roskilde University), Adrian Favell (University 
> of California, Los Angeles), Aniko Imre
