Media at Sydney presents:
Toby Miller
Professor of Media & Cultural Studies at the University of California, Riverside
Professor of Cultural Industries at City University, London

‘Greening the Media'

Drawing on his new book with Richard Maxwell (Greening the Media, Oxford University Press, 2012) Toby Miller engages in an alternative history of the media, past and present, that emphasises their paramount role in environmental pollution and worker exploitation. The talk will question today's prevalent cybertarian fantasies about a new, post-smokestack capitalism and the mythology of the new media.

Toby Miller is a British-Australian-US interdisciplinary social scientist. He is the author and editor of over 30 books, and has published essays in more than 100 journals and edited collections. His teaching and research cover the media, sports, labor, gender, race, citizenship, politics, and cultural policy, as well as the success of Hollywood overseas and the adverse effects of electronic waste. He taught at Murdoch, Griffith University, and the University of New South Wales and is currently a professor at New York University, University of California, Riverside, and City University, London.
