Communication and Media Studies scholars and all others are welcome!

Somnambulations: New Directions in Interdisciplinary Approaches to Sleep 
is a full-day colloquium featuring graduate students and emerging 
scholars addressing sleep from a variety of disciplinary contexts. 
Researchers working in media and communication studies are particularly 
welcome, and should find resonance in talks on sleep and sound, music, 
performance, encoding, measurement, and more. Through these themes the 
event seeks to reflect the critical and creative sociocultural approach 
to sleep and sleep science that is fundamental to The Sociability of 
Sleep project.
