The Department of Media and Journalism Studies, Aarhus University, 
Denmark, in conjunction with the Department of Communication Studies, 
Moi University, Kenya, is co-hosting the seminar/Critical Perspectives 
on Everyday Media Uses and Social-Cultural Change in Contemporary 
Africa./The aims of the seminar are to present empirical findings on the 
interrelationship between changing media ecologies and socio-cultural 
changes and to discuss theoretical and methodological challenges 
studying these changes. Finally, the seminar will include a panel on 
North-South research collaborations.

Scholars engaged in similar research are invited to submit abstracts for 
consideration for the purpose of presenting the same at the two-days 
seminar. We hope this conference can stimulate critical and fruitful 
discussions about the role of new media in contemporary Africa.
