- Would you like to spend a coffee break debating the ideas of Marshall McLuhan, Walter Ong, Lewis Mumford, Susanne Langer, George Herbert Mead, or Neil Postman?
- Is the history of technology and the culture of those who use it as important to you as how it is currently being used?
- Are you interested in exploring orality and literacy; print media, television, and the Internet; language, culture, and consciousness, or media ecology education and policy; technology and information systems?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, consider joining us for the Third Annual Convention of the Media Ecology Association at Marymount Manhattan College.
