Theories of Media and Techniques in the Wake of Postcolonial and Environmental Studies

Catalog description

This workshop is a graduate student driven initiative to foster critical research on theories of media and techniques in the wake of postcolonial & environmental humanities. By resituating/restructuring theories of media and techniques in the context of postcolonial and environmental humanities, it pursues two goals: 1. to discuss the potentials and shortcomings of existing theoretical frameworks of media and techniques in the context of postcolonial and environmental humanities research projects in order to sharpen the theoretical framework, and 2. to foster future graduate and faculty collaborations across departments and programs at the intersection of media theory, postcolonial, and environmental studies.
