About the New Media and Culture Network
The New Media and Culture Network emerged in the course of a three-part workshop series organized by Mary Bryson, Teresa Dobson, and John Willinsky (University of British Columbia): "Technology, culture, aesthetics: Hypermedia and the changing nature of knowledge." The intent of this workshop series was to bring together key scholars and graduate students from the social sciences and humanities with a primary research focus on the impact of the digital age on the production, dissemination, and reception of knowledge.
