We are pleased to inform you that registration to attend the Digital (Im)materialities Graduate Conference, hosted May 25-27 2021 by Concordia University's Media Studies Master's students, is now open!


As the pandemic continues to rage, we have surpassed one year of conducting much of our lives: personal, professional, academic, online. This transition has proven in turns frustrating, alienating, and humorous but, more saliently, it has highlighted a myriad of questions and challenges in the realm of communications and media studies. Given these considerations, our conference encourages a self-reflexive approach which takes advantage of the unique affordances of virtual gathering and challenges the notion of the virtual as ahistorical and non-spatial. By bracketing the “im” in immaterialities, we wish to emphasize the dual nature of digitally mediated life during the pandemic: both the ephemeral and the durable; absence and presence. While this conference is presented by the Communication Studies department, we are excited to showcase scholarship that bridges fields of study and provokes diverse ways of thinking through seemingly discipline-specific questions.


Please register through our eventbrite link<https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/billets-digital-immaterialities-concordia-media-studies-2021-ma-conference-151808731001?utm-medium=discovery&utm-campaign=social&utm-content=attendeeshare&aff=escb&utm-source=cp&utm-term=listing>, which you will also find on our website<https://digitalimmaterialities.net/Program>. The event registration page only requires you to specify your attendance for the general event, however you may also choose the individual events you wish to attend. Full program is attached here. You are in no way obligated to attend all the sessions; however, we are keen to recreate the sustained attendance and energy of an in-person event.


Warmly,



Saskia Kowalchuk

On behalf of the Digital (Im)materialities Organising Committee
