[ecrea] Call for Responses: Flow 2018

Call for Responses: Flow 2018 (September 27th-29th, Austin, TX)
*

With the casualization of labor and the instability of the job market, 
precarity has become an increasingly pressing issue for both the media 
industries and the academy. Equally precarious is the state of 
preservation, as the production and circulation of media content 
outstrips the resources and workforce assigned to preserve it. Woven 
throughout and between precarity and preservation is praxis, the ways in 
which labor, strategy, and skill are marshaled to combat these threats 
in the industry and in academia. As such, the 2018 Flow Conference, to 
be held September 27-29th at the University of Texas at Austin, has 
chosen to focus on this tripartite theme of precarity, preservation, and 
praxis.

After soliciting questions from the Flow community, we’re pleased to 
announce this year’s roundtable questions centered on a rich assortment 
of related topics and issues surrounding:
