Workshop in: "Recent Developments in the Post-Soviet Media Landscape: Ukraine, Belarus and Russia"

Venues: Oxford (United Kingdom)
Period: June 23, 2010
Application deadline: June 10, 2010

The main aims of the workshop are:
- to question the transferability of the concept of "globalised democracy" to the post-Soviet media;
- to explore the intersection of new and traditional media in post-Soviet space;
- to provide the grounds for a critical reflection on the interaction between media, politics and culture in the three selected states, focusing in particular on how developments in the Ukrainian and Belarusian media systems reflect, resist, interact with and differ from those in Russia.
 
Involving leading international academics dealing with the media in Ukraine, Belarus and Russia, as well as practising journalists and media analysts from the region and also from the West, the main purposes of the workshop are to identify the underlying logic driving post-Soviet media transformations and to project those transformations into the future.

The workshop is open to post/graduate students, researchers and members of the public working on or interested in the Ukrainian, Russian and Belarusian media.

There is no participation fee.
