June 2006 | Thinking Through New Media

Duke University is pleased to announce that it will be hosting an international graduate student conference dedicated to the interdisciplinary study of new media technologies and their impact on art, culture, science, commerce, society, and the environment. The purpose of the Thinking Through New Media workshop is to build a graduate student community around new media scholarship and to introduce participants to HASTAC, ISIS, and RENCI. Conference organizers are currently encouraging students from all academic disciplines to submit 20-minute papers exploring their own research into the study and/or creation of new media technologies. Applicants whose papers are not accepted for presentation will be invited to present their work at a digital poster session during the first day of the conference. Students need not submit papers to attend the conference. Sponsored by the Humanities, Arts, Sciences, Technology Advanced Collaboratory (HASTAC); Information Science + Information Studies (ISIS); and the Renaissance Computing Institute (RENCI).
