Young people's media use and creative participation

A one-day symposium for the presentation and discussion of new research into how young people are using media in their everyday lives, with a particular emphasis on the ways in which the opportunity to make and share media material online does, or does not, make a difference.

• Dr Fatimah Awan, University of Westminster
• Ranjana Das, LSE, University of London
• Alicia Blum-Ross, University of Oxford

There are also further speaking slots for those who wish to present their own research in this area (if interested, please email d.gauntlett@wmin.ac.uk ).
