[Commlist] NECS Online Lecture Series

We are pleased to announce that NECS and the Centre for Research in the 
Arts at Oxford Brookes will be co-hosting their first Online Lecture 
Series on the topic of Media and Migration 
<https://necs.org/conference/media-and-migration-necs-online-lecture-series-2021/>. 
The series is co-organized by Giuseppe Fidotta (Concordia University), 
Mara Mattoscio (“Gabriele d’Annunzio” University of Pescara), and Dalila 
Missero (Oxford Brookes University) and consists of five lectures 
scheduled on a monthly basis, starting late January 2021. The Online 
Lecture Series is open to all and aims to involve graduate students and 
early-career researchers in the scientific conversation about media and 
migration.

A specific focus on methodology will be common to all lectures and will 
be articulated in connection to fields as varied as ethnic media, 
diaspora, migrant audiences, digital technologies and border regimes, as 
well as postcolonialism and gender. Unlike most current analyses of the 
relationship between media and migration, this Online Lecture Series 
will propose a shift from media narratives and the politics of 
representation to the methodological and epistemic issues related to the 
study of mediated migration.

The confirmed speakers, dates and details for registration are:
