2.
Upcoming Event - Coach House Institute (Formerly McLuhan Centre for
Culture and Technology), Toronto

The Coach House Institute, Toronto
14:00-15:00, October 24, 2013

The Coach House Institute (formerly known as the Centre for Culture and
Technology
under Professor Marshall Herbert McLuhan) will begin its yearlong, public
Culture
and Technology Lecture Series, in celebration of its 50th anniversary.

The inaugural speaker is Dominique Wolton

Research Director, French National Centre for Scientific Research

The Culture and Technology Lecture Series is a student-led initiative,
organized by
PhD and Masters students interested in the concept of information. This
initiative
has been planned in conjunction to the launch of the Culture & Technology
concentration to the Faculty of Information Master of Information program
to start
in fall 2013 highlighting core research strengths in the field of Culture &
Technology.

Lectures in the Series will focus on whether, and if so how, fundamental
theories of
information incorporate, accommodate, or abstract away from the diverse
epistemic
and ontological commitments of varied communities. Our target is the cultural
dimension of information, that is -- not merely the contextual specificity of
information content and use, but cultural specificities in the notion of
information
itself.


Speakers confirmed in this year's Lecture Series include:

Dominique Wolton

October 2013

Sandra Braman
November 12, 2013

Pieter Adriaans
February 2014

Jenna Burrell
April 29, 2014 (public lecture)

Ian Hacking (December)

Date:
Thursday, October 24, 2013 - 14:00 to 15:00

Thank you
