26 - 29 July 2004, Institute of Education, University of London

This international conference will present the most exciting and challenging new research on children, young people and new digital media. We aim to bring together researchers from a range of academic disciplines – including media and cultural studies, anthropology, sociology, psychology and education – and to promote dialogue within and across research traditions. We also aim to develop dialogue between researchers, practitioners in digital media, and educators. Keynote speakers include David Buckingham (University of London), Marsha Kinder (University of Southern California), Gunther Kress (University of London) and Sonia Livingstone (London School of Economics). The last day of the conference will be an education day featuring new research and strategies for teachers, as well as workshops led by practitioners, such as games and web designers. Conference themes include digital divides, globalisation, regulation, play, changing identities, informal learning and new media productions. Deadline for submission of proposals for papers, workshops or symposia is 31 December 2003.
