Thursday, May 14 going to be an incredible day: Urban Mediations, a one-day symposium on urban media studies is taking place in Windsor. Co-organized by the University of Windsor’s own, Dr. Michael Darroch, the symposium will involve a collection of researchers, artists, designers, and activists talking about what it means to research the urban.

Urban Mediations, co-ordinated by Michael Darroch and Janine Marchessault, is the second symposium in a series focused on the historical contexts, current practices, and future directions of urban media studies.  Panelists, including artists, researchers and graduate students from the University of Winsor, York University and Ryerson University are all concerned with research methods that cross the humanities and fine arts and will reflect upon the cultural spaces, visual fabric and mediated character of cities.
