The Cultural Research Network is proud to announce a speaking tour by  
Dr. Jonathan Sterne (McGill)

Dr. Jonathan Sterne is Associate Professor and Chair of the Department  
of Art History and Communication Studies at McGill University. He is  
author of "The Audible Past: Cultural Origins of Sound  
Reproduction" (Duke, 2003), and numerous articles on media,  
technologies and the politics of culture. His next book is tentatively  
entitled "MP3: The Meaning of a Format". He is also an editor of "Bad  
Subjects: Political Education for Everyday Life", one of the longest  
continuously-running publications on the Internet.

Professor Sterne will be touring Australia during early August  
presenting seminars and public lectures as well as 'open door days' in  
Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney. These 'open door days' are organised  
to benefit postgraduates and Early Career Researchers in particular.  
Jonathan is making himself available for one-on-one meetings to  
discuss research ideas, thesis conundrums, career trajectories, or to  
talk more about his own work. These sessions represent a fantastic  
opportunity to learn more from this creative thinker. Any researchers  
working in the broad areas of sound, music, technology, media studies  
and cultural studies, are strongly encouraged to make an appointment,  
with preference given to early career researchers. Please contact the  
listed organiser in each host city to book your time.
