 'Working with industry (during your PhD)' 

Featuring Katrina Jungnickel (INCITE/Intel)

Friday October 6, 2pm, CCCS UQ

The next Friday afternoon session for early career media and cultural
studies researchers in Brisbane will be a discussion on 'Working with
industry (during your PhD)' led by visiting researcher from the UK,
Katrina Jungnickel. Katrina is a PhD student at INCITE, an Incubator for
Critical Inquiry into Technology and Ethnography based in the Sociology
Department at the University of Surrey. She is currently undertaking a
multi-sited ethnography of volunteer community wireless networks in
Australia for her PhD research, while also working with Dr Nina Wakeford
on an Intel funded project - "Domestic Space and Interfaces for Located
Mobility; Wireless infrastructures and the changing nature of domestic
culture in Australia". Katrina is also the blogger behind "73 Urban
Journeys", an ongoing research project investigating the use of mobile
technologies and senses of place in a mobile social space and the
methological challenges of using a blog and website to gather, analyse
and present data.

Katrina is an Australian living in London and has eight years commercial
creative facilitation and media management experience. As a freelance
researcher she has worked on a variety of commercial and
interdisciplinary research projects within the fields of visual culture,
art, technology design and sociology. This session will be an informal
discussion of the issues involved in navigating such a career path,
while touching on questions of methodology in both academic and
industry-funded research contexts. It will be of interest to students
and researchers in media, cultural studies, sociology and IT fields.

When: Friday, October 6 from 2pm

Where: Centre for Critical and Cultural Studies Seminar Room, Level 4,
Forgan Smith Tower, University of Queensland

With drinks to follow in the staff club.
