It’s been in the works for a while, but I’m now happy to announce that, in collaboration with my Birkbeck colleague Tim Markham, we will be holding Conditions of Mediation: Phenomenological Approaches to Media, Technology and Communication on 17 June 2012 at Birkbeck, University of London. The event is a preconference sponsored by the Philosophy, Theory and Critique section of the International Communication Association (ICA), and will take place immediately prior to the ICA’s 2013 Annual Conference.

The pre-conference will feature two plenaries of keynote speakers, as well as four-to-six panels of paper presentations selected from submissions of abstracts.

We confirmed, we think, a great lineup of keynote speakers, including David Berry, Nick Couldry, Graham Harman, Lisa Parks and Paddy Scannell.
