We are excited to introduce MERiSA’s very special workshop series aimed at supporting an emerging generation of media ethnographic researchers and practitioners.

Over the course of the academic year, we will invite accomplished media scholars and practitioners to mentor a small cohort of graduate students who are developing media projects or media-focussed writing components for their PhD dissertations.

These sessions will offer an incredible opportunity to learn from experienced professors and to receive peer feedback on work-in-progress.
