and (3) media practices.
Participants (up to 15) will be given the possibility to present their
ongoing research and project activities during afternoon sessions. Other
participants and speakers will provide feedback and suggestions.
Participants will also have the possibility to schedule a meeting with the
Summer School invited lecturers to discuss more in details their work and
receive targeted advices.
Keynote Lectures will be given by prof. Donatella della Porta (Scuola
Normale Superiore) and Nick Couldry (London School of Economics).
