> Call for applications for the doctoral seminar on Media, Children and
Family Culture. Deadline for submission of application is April 1, 2014.
> We invite PhD students from media studies, anthropology, sociology,
ethnography, and related disciplines, who conduct research on the role 
of digital and mobile media in family life, childhood or youth culture.
> In this doctoral seminar, participants will discuss theories of
parental mediation, life in a risk society, family communication and 
social class, domestication of technologies, the mediatization of family 
life, material childhood, mediatized play and do it yourself (DIY) youth 
culture in relation to emergent research on media, children, and family 
culture. We will also discuss emergent methodologies that are employed 
in the study of family household practices and children’s media usage. 
Experienced scholars will give talks on own research, present key 
theories and methodologies and lead discussions to improve the 
participants empirically and analytically approaches and ideas.
> The doctoral seminar will feature leadership from four scholars who
have conducted research on the role of digital and mobile media in 
family life, youth culture and children’s play culture.
