ECU has recently completed an Australian Research Council funded
three-year project Australian responses to the images and discourses of
terrorism and the other: Establishing a metric of fear looking at
community, perceptions of fear and people's understanding of terror.
The Workshop is running to disseminate and discuss the research findings
and bring together those who create the stories, those who make policy,
those who manage policy, those who manage public opinion and those who
have been affected by media reporting, in a public debate about the
power of the media and its impact on our lives. Participants will be
working in small groups addressing a selection of the following topics
including:

*         Citizenship and Australian Values 

*         Civil Liberties 

*         Education and Social Inclusion 

*         Fear 

*         Reporting 

*         Security 

*         Women 

*         Youth 

There is a maximum of 35 places on the Workshop.
