About
We look forward to welcoming Dr Vincent Gaine and Dr Rolien Hyong from Media and Cultural Studies, Lancaster University, to speak about Contemporary Media Research. We hope to see many of you there.Vincent Gaine, Jack of Many Trades, Master of Who Cares?
In this talk, I discuss the challenges of independent research, teaching-only contracts and other people’s modules. Idemonstrate that these challenges provide opportunities for adaptation, finding colleagues with associated interests, and identifying niches.

My project displaces the focus, in search for a STS-inflected, materialist ecomedia studies that suits a time of climate breakdown.
