Asian Media, Culture, and Society
The focus of the project will be a two-day event to be held at Curtin University during the last week of September 2007. The forum will be primarily for postgraduates and ECRs from Curtin and Murdoch universities whose research is in the area of the media in Asia. Two CRN members from the East Coast will be invited to participate, and three academics from Perth. While the event will be open to all, ten postgraduates and ECRs from Murdoch and Curtin Universities will be selected for their research to be workshopped.
