Suggested topics within these themes could include, but are not limited to:
- The communication of research and ideas
- Digital Humanities
- The role of the internet
- Interaction and communication within and across cultures and spaces
- Legacy and reception (interaction with the past and future)
- Sources of communication (material culture, film and literature)
- Modes of communication
- Networks of communication
- The role of gender and sexuality in interaction and communication
- The communication of social and political power
Our confirmed keynote speakers are Prof. Regenia Gagnier (University of Exeter), Dr Natasha Lushetich (University of Exeter) and Prof. Steven Barnett (University of Westminster).
