Print In the Media Ecology: A Two-Day Conference
This event will be held on Thursday, March 15 and Friday, March
16, 2012 at McGill University, Arts Building, Room 160. More
information, including the titles and abstracts of our speakers'
presentations, can be found on our website, interactingwithprint.org. We warmly welcome all those
interested in joining us for this conference. RSVP to interactingwithprint [at] mcgill.ca is very much
appreciated, but not required.
In conjunction with "Print in the Media Ecology," we would like to
issue a special invitation to graduate students to attend a 5 à 7
reception on Friday, March 16. We hope to offer an opportunity to
mingle with other graduate students with an interest in print
culture, and discuss opportunities for future collaboration and
events. Wine and refreshments will be served starting at 5pm, after
the end of the final roundtable session.
