This looks like a great series. I’ll be attending for certain.
Guest speakers include Eric McLuhan, (Marshall’s son)
“Media Ecology is an interdisciplinary field of media theory involving
the study of media environments. Media ecology looks into the matter of
how media of communication affect human perception, understanding,
feeling, and value; and how our interaction with media facilitates or
impedes our chances of survival. The word ecology implies the study of
environments: their structure, content, and impact on people.
Kenny Hubble (Ken Hudson, rl) will introduce basic topics in Media
Ecology and will be joined throughout the series by noted scholars,
authors and researchers in the field of Media Ecology, who will visit
Second Life to deliver their ideas and interact with the participants.
The series will be presented select Mondays (Sept 24 – Dec 3) as scheduled from 5-7 SLT
PST, at the Media Ecology Pavilion in Second Life at We The Living 102,129,22.
