*/Research theme: 21/**/^st /**/Century Media for Social Justice
/*


*//*

Digital media have opened up unprecedented possibilities for 
marginalised communities to find a voice, speak up, and share stories. 
Indigenous and community media are developing rapidly, while digital 
media are being mobilised for advocacy with refugees and asylum seekers, 
and used by geographically dispersed communities to maintain long 
distance relationships. This project investigates the opportunities and 
challenges for marginalized voices to be heard in the age of digital 
media. Key questions include: 1. What are the impacts of Indigenous, 
refugee and community media, online and off? In particular, how do 
policymakers and mainstream media professionals 'listen' in response to 
Indigenous, community and refugee media? 2. How do new technologies 
enable the development of transnational cyberpublics, maintaining 
affective relations over distance and difference? 3. What are the 
opportunities and challenges for minority media producers in the age of 
digital disruption? 4. How does the changing media environment impact on 
mediated identities?
