In this workshop, Dr. Newman will meet with Communication graduate students to discuss research methods in media history.
The workshop will focus on rediscovering media from the time when they were new, considering them as once-unfamiliar texts or artifacts and as forms of everyday popular culture aimed at consumers. It will engage with questions of what constitutes an archive, and what counts as a source. Participants are encouraged to bring their own project ideas for discussion.
